Chad Miller's Orlando Crime Map

Chad has taken some publicly available data put out by the Orlando Police, and displayed it on a Google Map.
He also has a number of Twitter accounts for all the zip codes in the area, each with their own feed of calls - https://twitter.com/orlpol/following
He also gives a pie chart showing the breakdown of the different types of calls. Apparently the police reply to a lot of "suspicious person", "commercial alarm", and "general disturbance" calls, not to mention "battery" and "accident" (injuries or minor) calls.
The map markers are updated only at the top of every hour. Twitter messages are sent real-time.
