Community Reporting Overview

In response to COVID-19, Caliber Public Safety is offering a new product feature with Online RMS 11.3.2 to support Community Reporting of minor crimes, tips, and other police-related events. The Community Reporting feature leverages the power of Online RMS Custom Forms for your agency to embed a form in an existing website using only a couple of lines of HTML code.

With this enhancement, your agency can create their Community Reporting public forms using the Custom Forms module and making the forms available to the public via your agency's website.

Benefits of Community Reporting:

Promote social distancing by reducing officer to public interactions for minor police reports.
Better service your community by reducing non-essential contacts to ensure officers are available to provide help when emergencies arise.
Keep officers on patrol and protect communities by offering an alternate method for the public to report minor police reports without the need to dispatch an officer.

Routing for available Custom Forms notifies Online RMS users when a new submission occurs. The same review process is used for both public and non-public forms.

There are two ways to take action on submitted forms:

From a Notification.
From your Recent Activities.

For more information on taking action, refer to “Taking Action on Submitted Forms”.

The same method is used for searching and viewing public and non-public Custom Forms. For more information, refer to “Search For and View Custom Forms”.

Note: For details on Community Reporting configuration, refer to the Online RMS Admin Guide or your agency administrator.
