Chicago Crime Watch 1.1 is status info software developed by Bret Walker.
Chicago Crime Watch Widget monitors a given Chicago city block with data from http://www.chicagocrime.org. Events are displayed and linked to the Chicago Crime website where more information and a Google Map may be found.

This widget can monitor any of the city blocks serviced by http://chicagocrime.org - one of the first Google Maps mashups. Due to the infrequent updates to the crime data, this widget caches data for a minimum of six hours, and it checks to see whether it should update automatically, when the Dashboard layer is shown.
The widget also checks network connectivity to prevent hangups.

As a Chicago resident, I find this widget to be pretty useful, and I hope that others will as well. I have a couple of improvements that I would like to make, but in the meantime, enjoy! (And I promise the widget is much better designed than this website!)

What's New:

  • Cocoa network connectivity checking plugin updated to be a Universal Binary.

    Requirements:
  • Active internet connection.
    This dashboard widgets program is freeware, so you can download and use it absolutely free. Chicago Crime Watch 1.1 supports different languages (including english). It works with Mac OS X.

    Downloading Chicago Crime Watch 1.1 will take several seconds if you use fast ADSL connection.
