The links in this
section include material from the City of Ann Arbor,
from The University of Michigan, and from a local citizens group. The image above shows a
screen capture of a Google Earth display of crime statistics from the
City of Ann Arbor Police Department, Neighborhood Watch Program,
gathered during the authors tenure on the city-wide Neighborhood Watch
Advisory Panel (to Adele El-Ayoubi, Neighborhood Watch Coordinator,
City of Ann Arbor Police Department). Because there is very
little crime in Ann Arbor, it was possible to enter the data by hand to
display the power of the approach, especially when coupled with the 3D
building stock (created by the author as Archimedes--over 400
buildings). Work is underway to automate the process using a live
feed (see the article below by Lars Schumann).
