EveryBlock a site that gathers info going on in your block, just launched an hour or so ago one of the niftiest features we've seen in awhile. The now publish every call made to police dispatchers in San Francisco, which they updated daily.
Some of the titillating stuff includes calls on abandoned vehicles, political demonstrations and drunk assholes.
But wait, that's not all. They also include more serious, Law & Order-ish criminal mischief like homicide, sexual assaults (3 calls in the 94107 yesterday!) and gunfire. It's almost as addictive as Clemecy reports for people on Death Row.
The info comes to EveryBlock directly from the San Francisco Police Department. To check out a comprehensive list of the offenses people are calling about in your neck of the woods in SF. go here.
So now, in addition to block parties, recent restaurant inspections, real estate listings and lost & found postings, EveryBlock will keep you up at night poring over who in your hood is calling the fuzz.

So can we search by "No arrests have been made"?
They need to include information on women in my neighborhood who are predisposed to one night stands. Giggety giggety
Wow. The thrill of the information age.
I laughed out loud when I learned that someone called in a "suspected homeless" at an intersection near my apartment yesterday. That would be like calling the police to tell them it's cloudy: it's homeless folks 24/7 here near the "flank" area of SoMa. Come to think of it, there's a homless shelter at the intersection in question!
This is also a great way to check up on what happens after you call something in. I called about a car parked in a bike lane late Thursday night.
The result according to EveryBlock:
Canceled before unit dispatched
This can occur when a citizen calls to cancel an earlier call before a unit was dispatched.
I suppose the police got distracted by all those violent crimes they are out there solving.
I love this.
Check out noise complaints the past sixty days for the intersection of Larkin & California. That big number? That's just one person (in dire need of an old-fashioned caning).
Oh my neighborhood is so tame!
Love the picture btw. That movie is awesome!
Anyone else want to call 911 just to hear yourself on this site?
Me neither.
I'll be going now.
