Community Crime Map returns

The Community Crime Map is once again active as the spring semester begins at Ohio State. The map, which consists of statistics from the Columbus Division of Police (CPD), was offline during the fall due to a ransomware attack on the City of Columbus and its data. Now restored, the third-party Lexis Nexis service pulls data from the CPD crime log and populates a map showing off-campus crime reports. Ohio State preprogrammed the map to a one-mile radius to include the crime reports from the most recent 7-day period. The default crime categories are pre-determined by Lexis Nexis and serve as another tool for Buckeyes to stay informed about crime and crime trends
