"The Sheriff's Office is making it easier for the public to access
crime data and arrest information by unveiling a new website where
visitors can learn what is happening and who may be doing it. The database, called Citizen RIMS after the office's internal
report writing system, will map crimes by dates, location and type, show
adult arrest information for the past 30 days and let users sign up for
email notifications." Here's the San Mateo crime website link, same as http://smso.crimegraphics.com .
"This is something that we wanted to do to connect with the
community and it helps everyone," said San Mateo County Sheriff's Deputy
Rebecca Rosenblatt. The site's rollout coincides with the department's inaugural
virtual ride-along Saturday night during which Rosenblatt will use
Twitter to give followers a peek into a deputy's typical evening in San
Carlos. She will also answer questions and hopes, based on the 2,700
individual views of the Facebook post about the event, that
participation is strong. The two happening so close together is coincidental but complementary, Rosenblatt said."
