      Very cool, but how do we get details on these events? Specifically, 2:47 a.m. on the 24th, accident involving death or injury at 403 N. LBJ? Is there more information available?

    • Brad Rollins says:

      Ted — I follow… Information on this map is limited to what comes on the blotter spreadsheet. I have a call into the patrol sergeant on that accident specifically for a follow-up story. Then we can link the story in the placemarker windows when that applies.

      THIS IS AWESOME!!!! I like to keep up with what’s going on in our neighborhood.

    • Brad,

      What a great idea and public service. Thank you for doing this.

    • Ted Marchut says:

      Thanks. I thought about it after I posted and figured there probably wouldn’t be more details readily available in most cases.

    • Shane Scribner says:

      Brilliant! Always a step ahead, Brad.
