GENERAL INFORMATION: Houston Police announce interactive "crime map"


New Houston website identifies where Crimes are Reported

People are always asking me what areas are safe. I tell them "nowhere in a big city like Houston is 100% safe" - and that is true.

The City of Houston Police department has published a website that shows reported crime.

Does it mean that the areas with higher reported crime are therefore more dangerous than other areas? No, it merely means that more crime is reported there. This can be because of increased traffic, more population, or any number of factors.

What the site allows you to do is to compare two areas and decide which one you would rather live in. Information is a powerful weapon against crime.

I suggest you use it.
