MN LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS USE NEW ELECTRONIC CRASH REPORT INTERFACE

The new electronic crash report interface now being used by Minnesota law enforcement officers improves the accuracy, reliability, and usefulness of crash data. The system gives officers three choices for electronically submitting a report: a quick capture, a wizard, and a form. A website interface and a standalone platform can be loaded onto officers’ laptops, allowing them to complete electronic reports even when they have limited Internet access. The state plans to eventually launch a public portal that will allow citizens to perform aggregated crash data inquiries and run data reports. See http://bit.ly/1UbZeia
