The Sumter County Sheriff’s Office is excited to announce our recent partnership with LexisNexis Risk Solutions to provide a new way for the citizens of Sumter County to stay informed about crime. The Sumter County Sheriff’s Office now has an online crime map called Community Crime Map (communitycrimemap.com) that maps and analyzes crime data and allows citizens to review crimes that occur in their area. Citizens can even sign up to receive alerts about certain crimes that have occurred at specific locations such as their residence, workplace, or child’s school.

Community Crime Map automatically syncs with the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office system to keep crime information updated daily. Out of privacy concerns, certain crimes will not be displayed for example sex offenses, child abuse, and homicides. Additionally, due to Marsy’s Law, certain crime locations have been offset to protect the identity of the victims of crimes.

This is just one part of our ongoing effort to keep our citizens informed about what’s going on in our community. The Sumter County Sheriff’s Office plans to continue sharing information in new in meaningful ways, we are doing everything in our power to give you information conveniently at your fingertips. Stay tuned for additional exciting information.
