Many police agencies use the LexisNexis Community Crime Map to chart reported crimes in their areas. This is a great resource for homebuyers to find a great place to live.
To search the map, go to communitycrimemap.com/.
For cities not reporting to LexisNexis, search the city's police department for statistics. For instance, Glendale's crime stats are at www.glendaleaz.com/cms/One.as...
