Buyers that are new to the area often ask their Realtor about the crime rate in a specific area. In Mecklenburg County NC the police depatment has an amazing online crime search system that allows its users to input an address and get a summary of police reports taken within a specified radius of that address.
By choosing the Reported Incidents selection, you will receive a summary of police reports taken by incident type. If you choose the Calls for Service selection, you will receive a summary of 911 calls where a police officer was dispatched by call type.

There are also other types of crime searches available on the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department's website, http://www.cmpdweb.com.
I think it is helpful for Realtors to keep a list of informational websites to provide Buyers who ask questions such as this about an area.
