Crime Viewer

The City of Rancho Palos Verdes wanted to provide a crime viewer tool for the public to access both current and historical crime data.

Interwest GIS created a GIS Viewer using Latitude Geographics Geocortex software. Our team created automated routines to download the data from the County's website, import it into the GIS database, and created query layers to merge specific crime codes into broader categories.

The GIS Viewer displays the crime by year and by type allowing citizens to turn on and off layers to focus on the specific types of crime and date range that concerns them.

The public can download the crime data to a csv file if desired and utilize the time slider tool to view the crime in their area chronologically.

The Crime Viewer also has a comprehensive report where the public can view where crime has increased or decreased by category from 2005 - present.

When the City of Lodi outgrew the capabilities of their existing Map Guide software, Interwest was selected to convert the city's data into an Esri geodatabase containing over 120 layers.  The data provides city staff with water, wastewater, storm drain, and other detailed infrastructure information.  The public viewer provides citizens with access to a wide range of information including zoning, land use, and bus routes.

The GIS viewer tool allows staff to quickly research property information, produce reports, and develop easy to use maps.  Citizens can access information 24 hours a day without having to visit City Hall saving the city both time and money.

Interwest's GIS team has experience implementing and designing GIS Viewers for many of our clients.  Contact us to discuss how we can find the right GIS Viewer Solution for you.

Using GIS & Mobile Devices in ADA enhancements

This week some of our Interwest staff are in the field testing various tools to use along with ArcGISServer, ArcGIS Online and consumer grade mobile devices to conduct field inventory and assessment.  

One example is a project using an iPad to review the conditions of ADA curb ramps.  The data is captured on a device that is familiar to field staff.  The results are then immediately accessible by project managers in the office via an online map.  Field staff can even include a photo.

Community Map Portal

Interwest GIS developed an online map tool for the City of Rancho Cordova - known as the community map portal.

The new community map portal site will allow the typical resident or business owner to quickly search for property related information, such as permitted zoning land use, garbage pickup day, school district, water service provider, political districts, and various other geographic related information. The basic idea behind this site is to provide a single information portal for the public to use to either get answers to their geographic related questions or be directed to a web site that can provide the information they are interested in.

Users are presented with easy to use search functionality to focus on a single property or investigate their surrounding geography. Over 50 map layers are provided for the user to turn on and off.

The map was created using the Esri ArcGIS Server flash plug in.  For more information regarding the tools and process used to develop this site contact Mark Dumford.
