Pawn & Secondhand: Making Life Easier

Before LeadsOnline, investigators and legions of administrative staff had to visit multiple pawn and secondhand stores for ticket retrieval and manually sort through the thousands of paper receipts and electronic files produced in their respective communities. Worse yet, some agencies found the administrative tasks so arduous that they were unable to keep up with this stockpile of investigative information, leading to lower crime clearance rates and increased criminal activity.

You’ve always thought there should be a better process to support criminal investigations, and now there is.

With LeadsOnline, investigators around the country are instantly empowered with critical information necessary to solve crimes of all kinds.

Thousands of businesses accepting merchandise from the public across all 50 states regularly upload transaction information to LeadsOnline. Hundreds of millions of transaction records are securely held and immediately available for investigative search.

Expanded reach solves ’unsolvable’ crimes

Because criminals will often leave a city with stolen property in order to escape detection, LeadsOnline recognized the need to eliminate the old way of investigating these cross–jurisdictional crimes: making dozens of phone calls and time–consuming personal visits to other communities.

Jurisdictional boundaries no longer hinder investigations because LeadsOnline is a cross–jurisdictional solution, allowing investigators to search for property and suspects across their region or the country.

Since regulated businesses must report to you and other agencies across the country, LeadsOnline gives you a hand in a way that complements the work you are already doing. LeadsOnline conforms to laws in all 50 states so you can simply let the businesses know you’ll be using LeadsOnline rather than dealing with their paper tickets, diskettes, and electronic files.

With the exponential growth of LeadsOnline, each day there are fewer places for criminals to hide.

In addition to streamlining the reporting process in your jurisdiction, LeadsOnline multiplies the efforts of your criminal investigators and support staff.

• Your entire team can use the system to work dozens of cases at one time.
• They will find suspects and stolen property across town or across the country…even if it’s listed on eBay.
• They’ll receive an automated hit alert when the item shows up in a store weeks after the crime.
• They’ll tag suspects with information so that investigators from your agency and other agencies may compare notes and coordinate efforts regarding the same suspect.
• Your department will solve cases that would have otherwise remained a mystery, and your efforts will be recognized in your community like never before.

The service is accessible through a secure online connection, and no IT support or advanced technical expertise is required to implement or use the system. There is no software for your agency or stores to install and maintain, and our servers never get full or run slow.
