>>Harrisburg PD's New On-Line Reporting System Now Active
(Harrisburg, PA) -- Harrisburg police are now offering a new way to help citizens report non-violent crimes online. The new Desktop Officer Reporting System, or DORS, began Wednesday and lets Harrisburg residents file their own police reports without speaking directly to an officer. Officials say the system has several advantages including officers responding to incidents in progress and citizens being able to get a report initiated at their own convenience. A release on the department's website says reporting can be done from a phone, computer, iPad or any other device at any time of day. The program is accessible on the department's Crimewatch website, under the tab "Online Reporting."
