NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Police is expanding its Citizen Online Reporting system, or CORe, to include specific non-violent crimes.
The system, which was developed by Lexis-Nexis, was first launched last spring and allowed people to complete reports for non-injury crashes that were not blocking the roadway or involved in a crime.
Now, people can self-report:
- Shoplifting
- Fuel drive off
- Dine and dash
- Harassing, but non-threatening, phone calls.
- Lost property
- Package theft
And other suspicious activity that is not in progress at the time of the report
Some of these types of reports are things that ramp up especially during the holiday season.
When calls go to the Department of Emergency Communications, it will be decided whether the incident qualifies for the program.
Then the dispatcher will transfer the caller to an 800 line that will send a link to the caller's cell phone to complete the report.
You can still request an officer be dispatched to a scene if you do not want to file a report through CORe.
Metro Police wants to remind everyone that false reporting — whether through CORe or not — is a violation of Tennessee law.
Young or old, we all love to play board and card games! Those games become even more important when you are indoors and don't have the ability to get outside, like patients in a hospital.
