COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- After months of dealing with complications from the City of Columbus’ data breach, Ohio State University said its off-campus community crime map is back up and running.    The map is a tool to see crimes that happened in the areas near campus that fall under the Columbus Division of Police’s jurisdiction, not Ohio State University Police Department.  Suspects of I-70 shootout, bank robbery sentenced to prison When a crime happens in the areas surrounding Ohio State's campus, some students and parents ask why they are not immediately alerted. Ohio State University Police said those notifications might not come from the university’s Buckeye alert system, but there are other ways to stay informed.  “It's just there's just a really a lot of different conversations that truly need to be had,” Daizhon Cox, a junior at Ohio State, said.   He said students are concerned about safety, especially off campus with there being several violent shootings in the university district last semester.    “If we are made aware of it, it's later after it kind of already happened,” Cox said.   When a crime occurs on campus, students receive a Buckeye alert; they do not receive such alerts of crimes off-campus. Ohio State Associate Vice President for Safety Monica Moll said that is because the Columbus Division of Police handles those crimes.   Ohio State’s Will Howard explains what happened to his hand at Cotton Bowl “So I guess what I would want to tell students and parents is we also are concerned about their safety,” Moll said. “We monitor crime trends closely. We have to work hand in hand with the Columbus Division of Police. We do want people to have good crime information. That's why we're pointing them to that crime map for good, verified information.”  She said there are ways to get alerts using the off-campus community crime map which is programmed to show crimes that happen around Ohio State's campus. She said the city's data breach prevented Columbus police from updating the map last semester.  “You can sign up for daily, weekly, monthly, however often you want them; you can even pick the time of day they come to your email inbox, crime alerts, and so it will list the crimes that happened within whatever mile radius you set up from the address that you plop in,” Moll said.   Moll said she knows people feel the off-campus map takes too long to give information, but she said this has to do with accuracy. “For example, an officer takes a police report, it gets loaded in the system and then gets uploaded to the crime map, and that sometimes depends on how busy the city police are,” Moll said.   Some Big Lots stores to remain open after last-ditch sale completed She said she also recommends apps like Citizen which isn’t always verified but will tell you something is happening.   “The reason why I think apps like Citizen and again, we don't control that just like we don't control the community crime map, but it's a good resource,” Moll said. “We also want students to start learning how to pay attention to crime around them and take some onus and help us help them for their safety, no matter where they are.”  Cox said he thinks students should have more opportunities to have a seat at the table when talking about safety.  “Safety is one of my main priorities,” he said. “I want to be able to bring CPD and OSUPD and even students and administrators here at the university to be able to have that conversation.”
