Online Crime Reports

The City of Johnston subscribes to CrimeReports.com, an online crime reporting service. The service is an extension of the department's commitment to community policing and their goal to provide open transparency in government. The online program provides up-to-date information on recent crime activity in the city and surrounding member communities. Viewers can access City of Johnston crime information online, and see a breakdown of recent crime by type. By accessing the crime map, residents can stay on top of crime, and help prevent crime in their neighborhoods.

Joining the program enables the police department to further enhance the exchange of information with the community, including schools, neighborhoods and businesses. A safe community requires more than just a police presence; it requires information sharing and a strong police community partnership. In Johnston, the police department enjoys close ties to the community through various homeowner associations, Neighborhood Watch Programs, the school resource officer program and a high visibility of uniformed patrol in neighborhoods and business districts.
