HUNTLEY – Police want to develop an online mapping tool that will allow residents to scour data and monitor criminal activity in Huntley neighborhoods.

The Internet project is the department’s response to a villagewide survey of 2,600 residents in summer. About 800 residents – mostly from Sun City – responded to a survey sent by email and on the village website about the department’s effectiveness in policing streets and neighborhoods.

The mostly favorable responses pointed to a need for timely and accessible information on crimes, from vandalism to felonies, Deputy Chief Mike Klunk said.
