Internet Site:
The Internet Site is a tool available to all Missouri's Law Enforcement: The Site's primary goal is to disseminate information regarding crime incidents, as well as stolen and recovered property associated with rural crime.
When you post information: It is automatically available to all LE agencies in Missouri who are Rural Crime partners. Stolen or recovered property can be posted even without having a Serial Number (S/N), Product Identification Number (PIN), Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or Owner Applied Number (OAN). Images of stolen or recovered property can be posted to better identify items.
Who Should Participate? Law Enforcement and Crime Analysts.
