Crime In Westchester 90045

I am a huge believer and practioner of the Law of Attraction. Simply put, what you focus your attention and energies on, expands. As such, I try not to spend much time thinking about crime in my neighborhood.

With a lot of online buzz lately about a string of burglaries in neighboring Playa del Rey, however, it’s hard to ignore the discussion. One interesting tidbit that I’ve picked up from the conversation is that LAPD offers a very cool, interactive map showing crime events for an address or area for up to the last seven days.

You can check out the site at www.lapdcrimemaps.org. You can enter an address or a zip code, a date range (up to 7 days) and check off your crimes of choice. To see a sample map of all crimes committed in the last seven days for 90045, check this out: Westchester 90045 Crime Map.

Pretty nifty, if you’re into that crime thing.

From the LAPD Crime Maps site, you can also register for LAPD’s e-Policing program. The mission of the program, according to the site, is this:

Through E-Policing we aim to provide important law enforcement information to you. We hope that you will partner with the LAPD by providing law and crime information to us that is relevant to your neighborhood.

Like I said before, I don’t like to focus on crime, but I’m an Internet fanatic and I’m absolutely fascinated with what LAPD is up to in its war on crime.

Here’s another interesting tidbit I picked up from the crime map — our house is located almost exactly in the middle of the 90045 area. I guess I was meant to write for this website long before the idea occurred to me. =-)
