The Major Cities Chiefs (MCC) is a professional organization of police executives representing the largest cities in the United States and Canada. The organization has recently published two very interesting maps on their website that were made using ArcGIS Explorer Online. Let’s take a closer look and see how they’ve leveraged Explorer Online’s capabilities.
The first map is an embedded map on their Member Cities site. The map enables visitors to navigate to an area of interest and click member city locations to view more information. Locations were obtained from a CSV file and imported onto the Explorer map. The configured pop-up includes a link to each department website:
Clicking the View Detailed Map link under the embeded map opens ArcGIS Explorer Online with a dashboard that includes several gadgets that enable users to learn more about staff composition in each department, population, budget, and crime activity compared to national averages. Just click a location to activate the gadgets:
