The Pima County Sheriffโs Department has announced a new online tool to help hasten the process of reporting non-emergency incidents, according to a news release by the department.
The DORS Program, short for โDesk Officer Reporting System,โ can be used through computers, smartphones and tablets to report non-emergency incidents or minor issues.
The minor issues could include animal problems, crime tips, custody order violations, misuse of a credit card, harassing phone calls, hit and run with no suspects, identity theft, lost property, private property accident, suspicious activity, theft, traffic complaints and vandalism, the sheriffโs office said.
The tool increases the speed and efficiency with which these minor issues are reported, also giving community members the opportunity to attach photo or video evidence. The program also offers essential documentation for their records, said the release.
โThe information submitted through DORS will assist PCSD in documenting incidents for further investigation,โ officials said.
Once the incident has been reported, a sergeant or an investigative support specialist will view the report and decide if a detective needs to be assigned to the case for follow-up investigation. In specific cases like a crime tip or a traffic complaint, the report will be sent to the appropriate unit.
The idea is, โif you want a deputy, you will get a deputy,โ Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said in a news release.
