Benefits

Before LeadsOnline, law enforcement had a hard time investigating stolen property crimes.

• First there was the time–wasting task of visiting all the area businesses to collect hundreds of transaction tickets.
• Then came the mind–numbing ritual of manually entering those tickets into a database. (Even if officers collected the info on diskettes, they found the data from different stores required individual handling by their IT staff.)
• By the time the data was available in their in–house system, it was often severely outdated.
• As the number of records grew, searching through stacks of reports was like finding a needle in a haystack.
• There were backlogs of data stored in boxes and closets across the country, legions of frustrated investigators, and hordes of frustrated crime victims waiting for justice.

Detectives had a choice — ignore this source of investigative information, or give up on getting home in time for dinner.

LeadsOnline has the solution.

Here's how one of our clients described the difference between their in–house system and LeadsOnline:

• LeadsOnline is up–to–date
  • Our in–house system was backlogged anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 months
• LeadsOnline is an all–electronic system
  • Our in–house system had numerous stores that did not transfer data electronically. We have to pick up the pawn slips and entered them into our system by hand
• LeadsOnline is nationwide
  • Our in–house system could only search within our own city.
  • The bad guys knew this and took stolen property to other cities to pawn
• LeadsOnline is potentially more accurate because the data only has to be entered once
  • Using our in–house system, the data may have been hand–entered two or more times, creating errors.
• LeadsOnline is more comprehensive
  • Our in–house system often did not have all the data for phone numbers and addresses
