Eblockwatch.co.za already collects crime reports from its users and alerts them when they receive new reports. It's interface is however quite terrible. Even worse is the fact they send a lot of sensationalist emails to their users and the only way to block that is to unsubscribe completely. Something that combines the visual presentation of oakland.crimespotting.org and the ease of use of openstreetbugs.schokokeks.org will be ideal. I am however already spending to much time writing openstreetmap software and my knowledge of openlayers is too limited.
