The map function allows users to zero in on a specific address, and it also provides those who register daily crime updates if they wish. Cincinnati Police Department participates so you can see the most recent reported crime activity in your area. Moreover here is a great resource to the 2008 Cincinnati crime statistics provided by Cincinnati PD.
