A new online tool is allowing the residents of some communities around the country to track crime information in their areas. CrimeMapping.com offers maps of communities with icons indicating what kind of crimes have been reported recently and where. Kalamazoo County Sheriff Rick Fuller says he’s signed on.

“You’ll type in Kalamazoo County, and you’ll pull up all of the calls that have happened in the past week all across the county of Kalamazoo,” Fuller said.

The website is updated weekly. Fuller says he signed the county up for it after some residents requested a way to know more about what’s happening in their neighborhoods. Currently, neither Berrien or Van Buren County are signed up for the service.
