The National Institute of Justice maintains a frequently updated list of links to cities and counties nationwide that have online crime mapping. Some sites, such as the one operated by Oakland, California, are searchable by date, zip code, police beat and type of crime. San Diego has a sophisticated system that allows for searches by address. The Los Angeles crime map also includes incident report numbers.
