to four clicks before crime symbols and street names are displayed.
Continue to zoom in until the symbols appear.
At the bottom left of each map there is a “Current Zoom”
field. This indicates the distance in miles from side to side of the area
selected on the map. Street names will appear at approximately 21 miles
and crime symbols will appear between 1 and 17 miles.

specific crime will appear in the right column. The information will show

months within the same year. To select specific months for view, click on
the “Map Layer Information” 
icon. A
list of map layers will be displayed in the right column, including the
