When will Sheriff Departments BE UPDATED WITH NOW TECH?..That way the forms to be filled out can be done online or in computer form and maybe individuals can have direct access to communication for what’s being done ..I believe more than half of crimes are recorded but by the time officers investigate footage is gone or & Culprits get away
Teresa says
This is sad, so many criminals walking free in the AV, they never seemed to be caught, even though most apartments have surveillance cameras, the criminal needs to pay for his crime!!!
