In the map or Crime Details list, click on each incident for details including the source, date, time and location at which the incident was reported to police -- not necessarily indicative of the date, time or location of the incident itself. Be aware that you will see also incidents located outside your immediate neighborhood and outside Prince George's County Police jurisdiction (see below).
Go to CrimeReports.com and create a free account, then:
- Choose Map Tools (display settings)
- Date Range
- Incident layers (types of incidents and other data to be displayed)
- Map Layers (local neighborhood boundaries)
- THEN in SEARCH enter a location (zip or street address) to set the center of the map display.
- 9100 Muirkirk Rd, Laurel, MD is about the center of South Laurel
- Zoom in or out.
- SEARCH will display all incidents that fit your criteria and fit on the screen. That includes locations outside your immediate neighborhood or outside Prince George's County -- such as nearby counties or cities that are not within Prince George's County Police jurisdiction. The Source shows the jurisdiction, not the geographic location (the geographic location is shown by the incident pin on the map and the street address).
- Some map pins indicate multiple incidents at the same location. Zooming will not disaggregate them.
