I am told that Rockville Central readers like our police blotters. So, while it is still a bit time consuming, we are happy to present a new mapped incident report.

Here is the last two reports’ worth worth of crime information (August 4 and August 11, 2008) from the Rockville Police:

I know, I know. You thought I had abandoned my police blotters. Those who like them seem quite loyal, and I am sorry to have let you down. I had been trying to figure out a way to semi-automate the process. Using available Google tools, my system kept failing. Finally I just gave up for a while.

But then a good friend pointed out that I used to do them and people liked them . . . which gave me the impetus to have another go.

(Just for grins, note that there is not one incident near Beall’s Grant. I’m just sayin‘.)

I am very, very hopeful that eventually Rockville City Police will move to a system like the one Montgomery County Police have recently adopted, which allows for real-time crime incident mapping. It is very cool.

Until then, I will keep plugging away.
