I would hope that the public vs. private maps would be permissably
different.. In my intended implementation the private ones would just
be displaying additional data to help the registered users (who are
also the content creators for the public map) manage the officers who
are identified by the markers.

Thanks for the alternative suggestion I'll definitely check that out!

Geoserver? I can guess what that is, but I'm unfamiliar with how I
would go about that.  Any URLs or additional info you can offer on
that line? (I will of course try googling it myself)
