If you’re the kind of person who listens to the police scanner and makes sure your doors are locked, you may be interested in signing up with CrimeMapping. The website posts crime data from the Edmonds Police Department, including news of burglaries. You can track crimes in your neighborhood and the city. You can also see patterns of burglary times and locations.

If you see anything suspicious in your neighborhood, let your police department know as soon as possible. If possible, use your camera phone to take a photograph. If you are interested in this subject and would like to have an online Block Watch, please let My Edmonds News know with a comment below. And if you are the victim of a burglary or theft, and would like to have information posted about items for people to be on the lookout for, you may want to post a comment.
