Batavia, NY (March 11, 2021) – The City of Batavia Police Department announces the launch of CRIMEWATCH, a new website that gives people who use social networks and mobile devices an easier, more effective way to help fight crime and stay informed.

The new Batavia Police Department website was developed in partnership with CRIMEWATCH Technologies and is part of the CRIMEWATCH Network (crimewatch.net). The website is an online tool that gives the public direct access to crime and public safety-related information happening in their community.

“This new website is the perfect entry point for establishing better police and public relationships.  CRIMEWATCH gives us the opportunity to communicate with the public and gives residents the anonymity to report neighborhood issues. Several police departments throughout the north-east region are having great success using this technology”, said Chief Heubusch, City of Batavia Police Chief. 

The City of Batavia Police Department is the first New York based police department to go live on the CRIMEWATCH Network; a communications platform developed specifically for law enforcement agencies that allows for geographically targeted information sharing and intelligence gathering.

Local residents are strongly encouraged to visit BataviaPolice.org connect with police department social media sites, and/or download CRIMEWATCH Mobile from the Apple or Android App Store.

The new Batavia Police Department Website can be found at  BataviaPolice.org

This resource allows residents to do the following:

  • Sign up for a free account to receive e-mail alerts,
  • Submit a tip to the Batavia Police Department,
  • View recent arrests and “most wanted” lists,
  • Get info on local sex offenders
  • Share information with others through social media, and
