Briefly describe how citizen online reporting works

What will be an ideal response?


In accessing the local department's Web site and pulling up the page with the crime report form, citizens are able to complete an online report with such required fields as name, address, type of incident or loss experienced, and so on. Before the citizen can submit the report, a warning appears stating the penalties for filing a false report.
It should be noted, however, that such reporting is used only for discovery crimes, not involvement crimes, and is most appropriate for property crimes where no suspect information is available.
