Who would you check with for neighborhood-level crime advice?

[Gary Dezoysa]

Hi, I plan on targeting lower ends neighborhoods, and one of my main priorities is getting a house in a good working-class area without high crime. As this can change from block to block, I need good street-level Intel. Here's my plan:

1. Walk the neighborhood myself at different times of day. Talk to people in the area to hear their thoughts

2. Meet up with other local investors and see what they have to say, assuming they work the same area.

3. I'm also thinking of calling the police to see if they can offer some feedback on my target location and surroundings areas.

Unfortunately spotcrime.com and crimereports.com does not have data in my target area.

Is there anything else I can do to assess an area for crime?

Thanks
