CRIMESTAT WEBSITE UPDATE INTRODUCES EASIER TO USE MAPPING SYSTEM, IMPROVED SEARCH OPTIONS
 

The Winnipeg Police Service is pleased to introduce a new look and added functionality to our CrimeStat website (www.winnipeg.ca/crimestat). Launched in February of 2007, the CrimeStat website is anonline public resource that provides timely statistical information relating to crime in Winnipeg.

Notably, the revamped site is now powered by Google Maps, which will bring added familiarity and ease of use for many users. This change makes the site more modern and easier to use through faster panning, zooming and loading of data. There is no longer a limit to the number of crime icons shown on the map, increasing transparency and accountability to the citizens of Winnipeg.

The system for filtering your searches has also been improved. You will be able to get a better snapshot of what is happening in your community or area of interest through the new area, date and crime type filters. An interactive legend allows you to quickly add and remove crime types from your map and statistics.
 
In response to requests from citizens, the "Downtown", as defined by the City of Winnipeg by-law, has been added as a searchable area as well.
