100,000 crimes and counting!

This month we passed a major milestone, we now have well over 100,000 crimes in our database from all over the United States. And guess what? We're not slowing down either.

We have several partnerships with police departments currently in the works and plan to continue to roll out POSTACRIME to law enforcement, businesses, and people like you all across the country. If you haven't done so already, make sure and invite your police department to participate in the POSTACRIME network by filling out this form. Our service is completely free for the departments, why wouldn't they participate?

Keep posting, keep participating, and we'll promise to keep rolling our more information, more features, and continue to make POSTACRIME a better tool for you.

Interesting strategies that he has included in his book:

Mr. Hughes notes PostaCrime.com as a great way for small business owners to network and share information about theft and crime in their stores, "every small business should be using this service, and advertising it to their customers."
