The Nolan County
Sheriff's Office is encouraging residents to register
with ReportIt,
a free, secure, online service that allows citizens to
record serial numbers, owner applied numbers and upload
images for phones, electronics and other valuables.
ReportIt is a new proactive online service that is
completely internet based, so you never have to worry
about losing the data you saved. Furthermore, the information
you store in ReportIt is password protected and can
only be accessed using your user name and password,
via a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) network connection.
This is the same type of connection used when you access
your bank account online. The information you enter
is also protected by the same high-level security measures
that are used by financial institutions and government
agencies.
The ReportIt service is a part of LeadsOnline, the
online system that works with law enforcement across
the country to track and recover stolen property. The
Nolan County Sheriff's Office actively uses the LeadsOnline
system to help track and recover everything from jewelry,
to sporting equipment, to electronics, computers, cameras,
items such as designer clothing and collectibles, and
other items with invaluable personal worth. The system
allows detectives and investigators to search for the
items using a variety of parameters, including item
descriptions and serial numbers. When an item is sold
to a pawn or secondhand shop, the product information
is entered in the LeadsOnline database and is immediately
viewable by participating law enforcement agencies across
the country.
ReportIt is free, secure and available to all residents
of Nolan County, and each account may store up to 100
items. Additional storage is available by emailing citizen@leadsonline.com.
Corporate accounts are available by contacting LeadsOnline
at 800-311-2656.
Again, the Sheriff's Office is encouraging residents
to register with ReportIt and suggests that you list
anything of value including collectibles, jewelry, electronics,
machinery, lawn equipment and even designer clothes
and handbags. Upon completion, print the information
entered and place the print-out in a fire proof safe,
and provide another to the Sheriff's Office or appropriate
law enforcement agency.
Should your valuables in the ReportIt database ever
be stolen, the information will assist law enforcement
and go a long way in accurately and quickly identifying
your property.
