On Wednesday, the Bakersfield Police Department rolled out with a new addition to its website– the Community Crime Dashboard .
“To provide information that the community can have at their fingertips to be able to make more informed decisions about their daily lives, this is invaluable in sharing that responsibility of public safety,” said Sergeant Eric Celedon with the Bakersfield Police Department.
He says within the first day, over 4,000 people accessed the dashboard.
“Our community at large– they have the ability to access information about what is impacting them, their families, and their neighborhoods,” said Celedon.
