This Windows Program automates Google Chrome to open Austin Police Crime Viewer web site (https://maps.austintexas.gov/GIS/CrimeViewer/) and download reports for each specified address. It then generate a report based on the number of police reports.
The color coding is relative. That is, if you entered 10 high crime addresses, it will still mark the one with the lowest crime rate blue. Also, the color calulation does not take the seriousness of crimes into account. So it is mostly a comparison of occurrences of part II crimes.
Before automation, it is best to enter the addresses's crime search address box to see if the addresses you have conform to APD's format and correct if necessary. I try my best to accomodate the addresses but the address parser I am using is buggy.
You have the option to choose the report radius and time range for crime reports.
