WASHINGTON — PresidentBarack Obama and Republican con-gressional leaders refused to budgein their budget standoff Friday as$85 billion in across-the-boardspending cuts bore down on individ-ual Americans and the nation’s still-recovering economy. “None of thisis necessary,”said the presidentafter a sterile White House meetingthat portendeda long stand-off.Even beforeObama for-mally orderedthe cutsrequired bymidnight,their impactwas felt thou-sands of milesaway.

The Sheriff’s Office is making it easier forthe public to access crime data and arrestinformation by unveiling a new website wherevisitors can learn what is happening and whomay be doing it.The database,called Citizen RIMS after theoffice’s internal report writing system,willmap crimes by dates,location and type,showadult arrest information for the past 30 daysand let users sign up for email notifications.“This is something that we wanted to do toconnect with the community and it helpseveryone,”said San Mateo County Sheriff’sDeputy Rebecca Rosenblatt.The site’s rollout coincides with the depart-ment’s inaugural virtual ride-along Saturdaynight during which Rosenblatt will use Twitterto give followers a peek into a deputy’s typi-cal evening in San Carlos. She will alsoanswer questions and hopes,based on the2,700 individual views of the Facebook postabout the event,that participation is strong.The two happening so close together iscoincidental but complementary,Rosenblattsaid.“It’s definitely good timing. We are trying tobe more transparent and it’s certainly morepowerful to show that we are,rather than justsay so,”she said.Rosenblatt said the public might encountera few growing pains as the online system getsup and running but ultimately it should makethe sharing of information easier all around.For example,she said,the records departmentreceives calls from people moving into thearea and seeking information about neighbor-hood crime trends.“That’s something they can now go onlineand find out for themselves,”she said. “It’s allpublic information that should be availableanyway. This just streamlines it.”Future additions planned for the site includea database of outstanding stolen vehicle,miss-ing persons and warrants. Arrest informationwill include names,ages,charges and mugshots.Both the site and ride along show how lawenforcement are moving away from tradition-al thinking and learning to use social mediaand online resources,Rosenblatt said.Other cities,like Palo Alto and MountainView locally,have held virtual ride-alongs andRosenblatt said some departments in differentlocales like Las Vegas and Arlington,Texashave even coordinated their events to happentogether.“People talk about law enforcement being acommunity. This shows how we can reach outto each other and people even across cities orstates,”she said. “It’s kind of amazing.”
The Citizen RIMS site is http://smso.crime-graphics.com. The virtual ride along is 6 p.m.to midnight Saturday,March 2 and availablevia Twitter at twitter.com/SMCSheriff.
