The Natchitoches Police Department has partnered with City Protect to present an online crime alerting and mapping service. City Protect provides easy to read incident crime maps and automated alerts to the citizens of Natchitoches.
Crime data is uploaded several times a day and includes:
- Incident type
- Date
- Location
- Distance from citizen’s address
- Case number’s to identify incidents
- Crime or incident description
- The ability for citizens and businesses to register cameras that might be useful to law enforcement in collecting video evidence when a crime occurs.
The City Protect service is free and will allow those in the community to stay informed about what is happening in their neighborhoods.
City Protect replaces the previous mapping service that we have used over the past twenty years. As part of the update we have been committed to providing transparency and have been working to get the system setup to allow our citizens to be informed and to have access to information along with giving them another means of assisting law enforcement.
