The Roanoke Times wrote me this morning to tell me of a new service they’re providing on their online site.

It’s a crime aggregator, basically – they’re compiling crime statistics from across the New River Valley and posting them on Roanoke.com.  Right now, it appears that they’ve got limited statistics, but they tell me that they’re adding stats as quickly as they can. 

I’d love to say that there’s no crime throughout the Valley, but the unfortunate truth is that’s impossible to say anywhere.  Farmers Insurance thinks we’re pretty safe, and I do too, but if you’re interested in tracking just how safe your area … or that new neighborhood you’ve been thinking about … is, then this just might something you want to bookmark.

Thanks to Preaprez for the image.
