SpotCrime.com is a Baltimore-based company founded in October 2007 and privately owned by ReportSee, Inc. It provides nationwide crime information about arrests, arsons, assaults, burglaries, robberies, shootings, thefts and vandalisms, on a Google map. SpotCrime will map data for any police agency who supplies open and unrestricted access to crime data. The crime data is mainly from police departments, news reports and user-generated content. Anyone can access these maps and have the option to sign up to receive free crime alerts via email and text (SMS).〔(SpotCrime Informs of Neighborhood Crimes )〕 The email alert includes a map and crime details that has occurred in the specified area. In 2012, SpotCrime.com launched its own crime tip service, Crimetip.us, allowing users to anonymously report crimes in their area.
