Best Practices When Working With Maps
1. Construct small searches to maximize performance and keep your map results legible.
2. Use the search pages to restrict your results to specific parameters such as primary offense,
UCR code or ORI or Agency.
3. Limit the date range you are using, whenever possible. Wide date ranges for tracks and
incidents may turn up “false positives” on the map.
4. Use the zoom in icon to access greater detail on a specific location of the map.
5. If you receive a warning message that your box encompasses too large an area, stop the
search and draw a smaller box.
6. If you make a mistake in sizing the map, use the back icon on the tool bar to return to your
previous map.
7. Do not use the Back button on your browser when working with the map report.
8. If you need to rebuild your map from your text report page, use the Last Results link under
Search on the main menu.
