Layoffs May Force Residents to Report Crime Online...You know:
The department has been considering using an online self-reporting system called Cop-Logic. It's a system that is currently used by 150 police departments nationwide including in Cleveland and Columbus. [More]
Cleveland...
Columbus...
That's some cop logic.
Left unasked: When government fails to perform its most basic function, who needs it?
And, perversely, might this actually make the citizens safer?
Whew! I was wondering if they actually thought criminals were going to use that webpage to report their crimes... until I read the article.
ReplyDeleteSomehow, "self reporting" just didn't convey the right image. LOL
The folks there just may discover that they have gotten a very good deal after all. :)
I live in Columbus and have used the system once. It actually works very well, and (at this point) is only meant for petty crime.
ReplyDeleteMy GPS was stolen from my car, and it was the type of crime you know will never result in arrest, but you still want to make a public record of. Really beats waiting around all day for a cop to show up to file a pretty much useless report.
