SAINT PETERSBURG POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS A NEW ONLINE REPORTING SYSTEM

Hello Everyone,

Evelyn here,

On December 16, 2009, the Saint Petersburg police department launched its new online reporting page. On this page crimes such as Criminal Mischief, Harassing Phone Calls, Identity Theft, Lost Property, Theft, and Vehicle Burglary can be reported online.

How does it work? The reporters fills out a short questionnaire with the details of the crime and they will receive an email confirmation. They can also print a copy of their reports. A police officer/ report writer will contact the victims at a later date.

This new reporting system is strictly for reporting crimes that are not 911 related.  These reports include those crimes involving fire arms or physical assaults.

Persons unable and/or not wanting to use the new system may still make their reports by call the Saint Petersburg Police Department's non-emergency line at 727-893-7780. All persons using the new system must be at least 18 years of age.

Clearwater Police Department Launches New Program: “Operation Clamp the Amp”

Hello Everyone,

Evelyn here,

The battle to end the terror of excessive noise throughout the state of Florida has a new victory. The city of Clearwater has launched its new program site, "Operation Clamp the Amp." An alert and dedicated NoiseOff member posted the article below.

Clearwater, Florida - It's loud. It's annoying. It's against the law. The
Clearwater Police Department is starting a new program - "Clamp the Amp."

Citizens can now report booming car stereos by going online and entering a
few details.

Citizens who witness amplified car stereo volume should note the date and
location of the incident, the vehicle type, tag number and a brief
description of the driver if possible.

Reporting excessive volume will generate a letter from the Clearwater Police
Department to the vehicle's registered owner. A police officer must observe
the offense to take enforcement action, but the letter will warn the driver
of the violation and make a record of complaints.

Florida Statute 316.3045 prohibits amplified sound from a car that is
audible 25 feet or more. The penalty is a $91 fine.

To report violations go to www.clearwaterpolice.org

Will the Saint Petersburg Police Department follow Clearwater’s example anytime soon?
