What is krimelabb?

krimelabb's core value is Working together, let's make Austin the safest city in the nation. So by knowing about crime in your neighborhood, you are in a better position to partner with law enforcement to deter crime.

And krimelabb has no political agenda, so it tries to present "just the facts, ma'am" (or sir).

If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way. [Napoleon Hill]

A connected neighborhood is a protected neighborhood. [APD Officer Joshua Visi]

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."
