The Chilton Police Department encourages residents to use a free online system that will help keep track of valuable and – invaluable personal – property.
ReportIt is a free, secure online service that allows citizens to record serial numbers and upload images for phones, electronics and other valuables. Should those items ever be stolen, Chilton PD says having the information will go a long way in accurately and quickly identifying your property. The site can be accessed at reportit.leadsonline.com. The ReportIt service is part of LeadsOnline, an online system that works with police across the country to track and recover stolen property. The Chilton PD uses LeadsOnline to help track and recover everything from jewelry to electronics to sporting equipment, computers, cameras and many other items. The system allows detectives to search for the items using a variety of parameters, including item descriptions and serial numbers. When an item is sold to a pawn shop or secondhand store, the product information is entered in the LEadsOnline database and is immediately viewable by participating law enforcement agencies across the country. Chilton PD recently began using LeadsOnline and has reported successes using the online investigation system, enabling them to recover thousands of dollars in stolen property for Chilton and surrounding area residents. Citizens can store an unlimited number of serial numbers, item descriptions, pictures and scans of receipts so items may be more easily identified in the event of theft. This record may also come in handy when filing claims with insurance providers in the event of loss. Citizens wanting to participate in ReporetIt can register for the free service at reportit.leadsonline.com and begin building a personal property inventory list. |
