CSI in Vegas has a nifty system for mapping criminial offenders locations.
I've seen it in action on TV.

St. Louis Metropolitan Police Dept. recently got an award for their IMS that
maps 911 calls, arrests, and some other things like that. It's pretty
nifty.

Subject: [gislist] Mapping of Offenders
List,
Has anyone had experience with developing a website or portal for public
consumption/awareness that maps the locations of known and registered sexual
offenders [or for that matter any other category of criminal activity that
is in the digital public domain] ? In Florida at least, and I suspect the
same may be the case in many other States, we have a state-level law
enforcement agency that is mandated to record and register the "last known
address" of individuals convicted of various sexual offenses. This website
is, as you might imagine, non-spatial in its presentation, but contains the
necessary spatial content to automatically and with regular frequency
[because some of those individuals go back to jail and some new ones get
out, almost on a daily basis], geocode and display on a map the locations of
those "last known addresses", and perhaps, present the "attributes" of the
individuals.
I'm more interested in the issues of policy, privacy and of course, legal
considerations of such existing "location-based services" for this specific
application. The technical is rather "mundane" and relatively
straight-forward, however, the fact that the agency in charge of putting
this information falls short of implementing tools that would map the
individuals' locations indicates to me that perhaps some attorney somewhere
was reluctant to provide the information in a geographic context. Quite
understandable, given the potential powder-keg it could represent, but is it
such and explosive issue or not? Looking for experiences in this or
similarly, "edgy" public-domain issues.
Thanks, Anthony
Ps. Knock knock. Who's there ? Aren'tya. Aren'tya who ? Aren'tya glad I
didn't say OGC.....
