That said, I'd be interested in hearing how you get your crime data. Could you share with us?

The thing they emphasized at CrimeMapping.com is that they don't scrape data from other sites. The info they post comes direct from the police departments. @Steve – I didn’t know about EveryBlock.com, but upon checking it out, I’m not finding crime stats or data mapped out (I may have missed it).

Get together with your community and lobby to get your city on the site. They actually have more information on how to do that in their FAQ.
