Online map system to track police/fire calls in Bryan is ready for launch

A message from Bryan Police Officer J. P. Ingram, Neighborhood Enforcement Team 7 Zone:

Some of you maybe already aware that the city's IT department has been building an online, push-pin map system for citizens to see where calls for police and fire help are made to within the city of Bryan. This system would allow you to log on to the city of Bryan's website and see where officers have responded to within a 24 hour time period and to see what case reports were written.

I know some of you have told me that you are interested in having this available so that you can see what type of police calls and crimes are being reported in your neighborhoods. This project is complete and now is in the hands of the city council for approval. If this is something that you want to have at your disposal, then contact your city council person or person(s) and ask for this to be passed.

This is a great way for us to use technology against the bad guys, and against those who inhabit homes in our areas that are constantly having the police problems. If you have any questions about this please feel free to call me at 979-209-5549 or send me an email.

This is just one of the new programs that we are hoping to get to try, as we continue to visit ways to put the information in the citizen's hands. Any positive or negative feedback is welcome.
