They're using a third-party service, CrimeReports.com , for the mapping.
I'll give you a direct link so you can skip the giant disclaimer they present on the OttawaPolice.ca site

Looks like the Market and Bank Street are popular amongst the criminals, which won't be much of a surprise to Ottawa residents.
If this doesn't seem too novel, keep in mind that chicagocrime.org was one of the original crime map mashups, and it was only created in May 2005 (see In memory of chicagocrime.org ).
UPDATE 2008-10-30: Story was via 24 Hours and Metro - Cops Net crime hubs.
