Web-Based System Takes Citizens Reports

Do you have too many citizens, making too many reports, and not enough personnel to handle them? The company CopLogic Inc. markets a Web-based incident reporting system that allows citizens to directly write their own crime reports without dispatcher or officer handling. Each agency can establish which types of incidents are reportable, but he Reno (Nev.) PD allows a full range of incident types where there are no suspects. Interestingly, the company says the system is, “designed to eliminate the cost of having officers take no-suspect reports while still documenting the incident and collecting reportable data for statistical analysis and state reporting requirements.” After reading that, consider the role of police in the community and citizen expectations of service, and then check the company’s product page here, including a demo.
