Police Incident Reporting Goes Online for Citizens
September 2, 2011
The Mesa Police Department is proud to announce it is providing
a new online police reporting option for the public. This
web-based reporting system will allow the public to file certain
incident types (Shoplifting, Theft, Identity Theft, Hit & Run
and Lost Property) over the Internet at their convenience. The
Mesa Police Department expects this Internet-based reporting
service to be very popular among citizens who have come to
expect police services to be provided immediately and
conveniently online.
The service will allow the public to file a report at a time
that is best for them, without having to wait for an officer to
respond or call them back. The public will be able to print a
temporary copy of the report upon submitting the report. The
report will be reviewed by police personnel and, once approved,
the filing person will receive an e-mail with a copy of the
report attached without cost. The report will transfer into the
Mesa Police Departments Records Management System and receive
the same investigation and statistical analysis ability, as if
the report had been filed by a police officer.
The web-based reporting option will allow officers more time to
address community needs, while keeping pace with public
expectancy to complete services via the Internet. The service
began on September 1, 2011 and can easily be found by going to
the Mesa Police Department website at
www.mesaaz.gov/police.
