  It is an online map by Kent Police which you can click on to see how much crime is going on in your area.
  
  Chief Inspector Martin Cunningham from Kent Police says: "This new addition to our website means that everyone in Kent can access up to-date crime figures whenever they want to. They can check crime levels in their own area, and get a better understanding of the reality of crime levels where they live.
  
  This is an excellent tool and we would encourage people to use it to access the work we have been doing in neighbourhoods. We hope it will also help people see the real crime levels which are often much lower than they think."

  Yes I can recommend this site, I use it frequently in the course of my work. It's very easy to follow and comprehensive.
  It's not the man in my life, its the life in my man!!

  Thanks for that Marek.
  
  Very interesting.
  
  I receive a document showing the anti-social behaviour figures and they are pretty low for Dover as a whole and the ward I represent in particular.
  
  Bear in mind though, that these are "reported" crime figures - if people actually reported every crime that went, on they would be so much higher than these .
  
  Sadly a lot of people don't even bother reporting some crimes, as from experience they know they won't get a copper for days sometimes, so think what's the point - we've heard on here that people phone Maidstone and they don't even record it.
  
  Any act - crime or ASB, should be reported, it can lead to more specific policing of an area -but they need to know.

  sadly a lot of people only report minor crime if they need a crime number for their insurance company.
  
  speaking to our "local" police in maidstone can be frustrating time wise.
  
  i remember being asked where dover was, i was considering replying along the lines be patient and i will post you a map with detailed directions.

  On todays news it revealed that there 1500 fewer frontline officers mainly due to a drop in recruitment but it also stated that backroom staff numbers had increased.Its a mad mad old world.
