RAIDS Online automatically syncs with the police department’s records management system to keep crime information updated online and in the mobile app. RAIDS Online cleans and geocodes the crime data, then displays all of the incidents on a map, grid and analytics dashboard along with some basic information about the incidents, including the type of crime, location type, block-level address, date and time. Citizens can sign up for e-mail alerts that notify them of an offense near their home or business, a valuable tool for Neighborhood Watch groups or Homeowner’s associations.

BAIR Analytics also offers a free app for the iPhone. Using your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, open the App Store and search for “RAIDS Online Mobile”, or click RAIDS Online Mobile to download the app. Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. Requires iOS 6 or later.
