Report-It

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 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.
