The Arkansas City Police Department has rolled out a new way for the public to easily stay informed about crime in Arkansas City.
The police department now has a publicly accessible online crime map called Community Crime Map, which can be accessed at www.communitycrimemap.com or bit.ly/accrimemap. All citizens are encouraged to look at this map, which also can be found in the left navigation bar in the Police Department section of the City website at www.arkansascityks.gov.
The Community Crime Map analyzes crime data, presents them in map form, alerts citizens about crimes in their area and allows Ark City police to quickly alert the public about crimes as they occur.
