[Summit] another break in

[Thomas A. Schmeling]

Incidentally, the <http://www.providenceri.com/>city's web site 
announced, yesterday, a new on-line tool for tracking neighborhood 
crime.  Here's the the 
<http://www.providenceri.com/press/article.php?id=331>press release.

The tool is Citizen Observer.  It appears to be a two-way 
communication tool, allowing citizens to give police tips and 
allowing citizens to view alerts and even track progress on open 
cases.

I signed up. The web site is not as user-friendly as I would like 
and,  as far as I can see, there is so far no information of any kind 
posted by the police.  I imagine it will take a while before they get 
up to speed, but I wish they had waited to launch it until it had 
something to offer.  On the other hand, three break-ins in a week 
would seem to justify an alert and case-progress note soon.
