    prompting the witness to identify other witnesses, wherein a central computer attempts to contact the other witnesses via a communications network to request further information about an incident;

    selecting an authority to whom the incident report should be sent, wherein the authority is selected based at least in part on information provided by the witness and wherein the authority is automatically selected by the computer system based on information entered into the incident report by the witness; and
