Crime Bulletin

Crime Bulletin allows agencies to upload time sensitive crime bulletins such as BOLOs for nationwide dissemination. You can upload a PDF of a BOLO and within minutes it will be searchable in the CrimeTracer application.

You can also set an alert to be notified any time a Crime Bulletin is uploaded. This vastly increases the velocity of information and allows the opportunity for immediate notification in critically time sensitive matters.
