This is a very good resource. I was blown away by the repeat offender list. Actually, it makes me quite angry. Looking at the few on that list that had mugshots….I’ve seen several of these folks on the sidewalks in my area of downtown.
Jack, if you’re still listening – what do the “proximity” numbers correlate to in terms of mileage when you do a search by address. Like, is a number 1 proximity about 0.25 miles and a number 2 proximity 0.5 miles or something like that?

Good question! 1 is approx 100 meters in all four directions NWSE, so 9 is ~900m.
