URBANA, IL (Chambana Today) – The Urbana Police Department (UPD) announced a partnership with the LexisNexis Desk Officer Reporting System (DORS).
The system allows efficient filing of police reports to the UPD from community members in their own homes. This is a technical advancement in UPD policing and allows citizens to file police reports any time on any day. The current online form allows the filing of four types of police reports. The new system, however, will expand their options. With this new system, reports will be able to be filed and approved by an on-duty UPD Sergeant.
They will also receive a report of the copy to their email. The record will be transferred into their record management system officially. The day after, the Investigations division will review the reports to see if there is any need for follow up or clarification.
