Neighbors Feed
The Neighbors feed on the left hand side of the main page is a collection of public posts made by residents within your jurisdiction. It’s a place where residents can post information related to incidents going on in their neighborhoods, making it a useful resource for local agency users. You can scroll through the feed to view all crime and safety posts from your community in chronological order. These posts may include videos, photos, and/or text.
Incident Map
In addition to the list view on the Neighbors feed, public posts are also visible on the Incident Map on the right hand side of the main page. Hovering your mouse over a post on the Neighbors Feed on the left will highlight it on the Incident Map on the right to show the approximate incident location. The exact location of posts are not shown, in an effort to protect user privacy. You can also click on a post on the Incident Map to scroll to it on the Neighbors Feed.
The Neighbors Incident Map shows approximate incident locations. The exact location of posts are not shown and sometimes may appear outside your neighborhood area, in an effort to protect user privacy. For NPSS users, your neighborhood area is your jurisdiction.
