The Knox County Sheriff's Office is now utilizing an online crime-mapping website, CrimeReports.Com,  to help relay crime incident data to the general public, including sex offender registry locations. The Sheriff's Office generates the latitude / longitude (XY) coordinate for each incident by using MPC's accurate address database (hosted on the KGIS system), and then plots those locations onto the Google-hosted map. Reports and other tabular data are also provided. (Note: Only crimes outside of the City of Knoxville jurisdiction limits are currently shown in the application)
