Site Info

Lakeland Crime is a sub-site of the hyperlocal blog, Lakeland Local. Both sites cover Lakeland, Florida. Polk County's most populous city.

Map Info

Each week you can find a full page map by clicking the LakelandLocal.com Crime Map link in the small map's green bar.

You'll notice the top right corner of the map has a pull-down entitled "Legend." Pull that down to find check boxes for each category listed on the map. Now you can see only those categories that interest you. They're all easy to toggle on and off.

Current maps use numbered and color-coded icons. The numbers are not visible if you zoom too far out.

Older maps have different icons. In addition to the house icon for Residential Burglaries, we have auto icons for Stolen Vehicles and Recovered Stolen Vehicles. Plus, for the occasional Residential Robbery we'll show a bed. Note: Vehicle Burglaries are "salmon" icons. That category covers almost half the items on the map. Anything too bold overwhelms the map.

Notes: You can click on a map pin to see the address and type of report. Click and hold to grab the map and move it around. When you click on a pin the address and call time is listed in the pop-up windows.

I use OpenOffice, CommunityWalk and MapQuest to make the map.

Data Info

Please note this is basic information that has not been subjected to further investigation or crime analysis. Some calls may eventually be cleared as unfounded from what was originally reported or may have been cleared by the arrest of an offender. - Disclaimer from the LPD site

The Lakeland Police Department is using this map on their blog, Inside. The Lakeland Ledger also features this map as part of their weekly crime maps.

Tampa has a similar map.
