The Washougal Police Department now has an online crime map called Community Crime Map (https://www.cityofwashougal.us/225/Community-Crime-Map) that maps and analyzes crime data, alerts Washougal citizens about crimes in their area, and allows the police department to quickly alert the public about crimes as they occur.
Washougal citizens can view a map and grid with all of the crimes in their area, sign up for neighborhood watch reports that automatically email a breakdown of recent crime activity. Community Crime Map automatically syncs with the police department records system to keep crime information online and in the mobile app. Community Crime Map cleans and geocodes the crime data, then displays the incidents on a map, grid and analytics dashboard along with some basic information about the incidents, including the type of crime, location type, block-level address, date and time.
