Eastborough Crime Scene
In an effort to keep the community better informed on criminal activity, look for a new section in the Police Department's page on Eastborough's web site called "Crime Scene" that will highlight crime in Eastborough on a monthly basis. In this section you will find information informing you of types of crimes reported along with where and when it occurred.
Also, in the future, when a crime is reported to the police, officers will be contacting residents who live near the location of the crime to inform them of the incident and also to hopefully gather additional information that may assist in their investigative efforts. This has not been done as consistently in the past as it will be now, but by doing so you will be better informed of criminal activities in your respective neighborhoods which will be of great value in assisting the Police Department in their crime prevention efforts.
