Franklin Police are now offering citizens the ability to send anonymous text tips about crime. Following that, Franklin Police began offering citizens instant access to happening now news and information through social media applications like Twitter and Nixle.
With the power of the Internet, citizens in Franklin now have the ability to get reliable, timely information about crime in their neighborhood; something Franklin Police Jackie Moore says is an essential component to a safe city. “A well informed citizen is a powerful component to fighting crime. We want to provide our residents every opportunity to stay well informed.”
Citizens can visit www.crimereports.com to view a map, updated every 24-hours, that details reported crimes in and around their neighborhoods. “Franklin is one of the safest communities in Tennessee,” said City Administrator Eric Stuckey. “We will work together, with our citizens and Police Department, to keep it that way. As technology evolves, we remain committed to using modern tools, such as this, to keep residents engaged and involved.”
“Last year, we achieved a 33% decrease in robberies,” said Assistant Chief Rahinsky. “Allocating our uninformed personnel in a manner that maximizes our visibility in the community pays dividends, the decrease in violent crime being one of them.”
The Franklin Police Department joins other North American law enforcement agencies who are sharing their crime information with the public through the map, like Baltimore, Boston, San Jose, San Francisco, Portland, Washington D.C., and Los Angeles County.
