What is Cville Blotter?

It doesn’t matter where you live, there is crime in your community. Crime is everywhere. It may not be rampant or even noticeable, but wherever communities form crime follows.

Cville Blotter was created to be a crime news hub, a place where you can find a myriad of crime coverage — news, information, links and more. At cvilleblotter.com you will find crime coverage on the hyperlocal level (police incident reports, mug shots, criminal case documents; news briefs and stories; links; blogs …). But you will also find coverage on a wider scale. Serving also as a crime news aggregator, Cville Blotter provides links to crime coverage from all over the Internet as well as original and breaking news (briefs and releases; criminal case documents …).

Cville Blotter is your web hub for crime coverage.

Local Coverage

Regardless of the Charlottesville area’s charm, character and beauty, our community is no different than any other. There is crime.

Cville Blotter is designed to be your first stop for anything you need to find or know concerning local crime and public safety.

All communities need a legitimate source to provide news on crime. Cville Blotter was created by a veteran community-news journalist to be that source for Charlottesville, a web site where you can find news stories on crime as well as raw data produced by police and other public safety authorities.

Cville Blotter also provides a wide variety of links to other local media crime coverage as well as authorities’ web sites. And there is space for the community to have its say and perhaps even help keep their neighbors informed.

While Cville Blotter’s primary goal is to inform the community on crime, another guiding philosophy behind the site is the belief in open government. The public deserves to have information available to it. The information is out there, but it is not always easily accessible. Cville Blotter bridges this gap, helps make it easier to find local, publicly accessible crime data and resources.
