Public-initiated incident reporting system and method
First Claim
1. This is a computerized system constructed with state-of-the-art web technologies and database management systems that leverages the public accessibility afforded by the Internet to provide a computerized mechanism by which members of the public-at-large can self-initiate the reporting of an incident (an event—
- criminal or non-criminal) to one or more law enforcement agencies via the Internet, an Intranet, or an Extranet, whereby the system captures data pertinent to the incident in the form of a logical association of all elements of the incident (including, but not limited to;
victim, witness, reporting party, location, incident type, narrative, modus operandi, incident details, and suspect information) and makes said data available to law enforcement following the automatic notification of one or more law enforcement agencies of the initiation of an incident report; and
, provides the ability for one or more law enforcement agencies to access said data across multiple incident reports for collaborative and investigative purposes.

Abstract
This is a computerized system that leverages web technologies to provide the mechanism by which the public-at-large can self-initiate the report of an incident, and whereby the system captures data pertinent to the incident in the form of a logical association of all elements of the incident; including, but not limited to: victim, reporting party, location, narrative, incident details, and suspect information. This invention is a remarkable, innovative, and unprecedented system and method that: 1) enables the public-at-large to electronically create an incident report via the Internet, an intranet, or an extranet; 2) guides the public through the process of creating an incident report; 3) profiles the elements of the incident through iterative sets of logically related questions and answers; and, 4) automatically notifies one or more law enforcement agencies of the submission of an incident report by a member of the public-at-large.
