New Internet Site Tracks Crimes In Northeastern Minnesota

The Internet has added another weapon to the crime-fighting arsenal in northeastern Minnesota.  Nearly 40 law enforcement agencies, including Duluth police and the St. Louis County Sheriff's Department, can now log on to a crime-mapping website that gives police a quick and updated look at crime types and patterns in their area.  Authorities say the same site is available to citizens when they're looking to buy a home or checking out a new neighborhood.  Northeastern Minnesota now has the state's biggest on-line crime-mapping cooperative.  The website is: www.crimemapping.com.
