The bibb county sheriff's office has a new online reporting system...to make reporting non-emergency crime a little easier.

Deputies partnered with lexis nexis to bring a new system called cops logic to county.

Sgt.

Santel smith says will make filtering calls simple for 911 operators.

"if there is no suspect and the crime is not in progress, and it meets one of the categories to take a separate report, our 911 office will transfer them to a number that is designed to allow citizens to speak to a deputy through our tele serve unit or get a link sent to their cell phone to start the report on their cellular devices."

Cops logic started september 15.

So far, it has received over 60 criminal offense complaints and 40 nuisance complaints.

Sgt.

Smith says the system will also help keep officers healthy during the pandemic.

"through this program, we want everyone to be socially distanced and safe, we want to be able to also help our officers be more proactive in the community and solving the most important crimes.

Not saying that these crimes aren't important but it is important that they will get investigated, but it is important that we pay attention to the areas that are most plagued with crime."
