krimelabb's core value is providing data to empower citizens to keep Austin safe. So by knowing about crime in your neighborhood, you are in a better position to partner with law enforcement in order to deter crime.
And krimelabb has no political agenda, so it tries to present "just the facts, ma'am" (or sir).

Report suspicious activity in your neighorhood...
APD says
"...Don’t worry about feeling embarrassed if your suspicions are wrong; think instead about what could happen if your suspicions are right and you don’t call. It is the Police Department’s job to investigate suspicious matters, and any assistance in spotting suspicious persons or activities is appreciated."
