REGISTERING PROPERTY
HPD has partnered with Report It to help you in registerting your personal property. Go to this site for more information:
What is ReportIt?
ReportIt is provided to you because the Hawthorne Police Department wants you to be prepared in the event of a theft or loss. It's a proactive tool that allows you to easily catalog information about your valuables. This includes serial numbers, owner applied numbers, photos of property and scans of receipts. It's completely internet based, so you never have to worry about losing the data you have saved.
How much does ReportIt cost?
ReportIt is free and available to residents in the jurisdictions LeadsOnline serves, and each account may store up to 100 items. If you need additional storage, just email us at citizen@leadsonline.com. Corporate and small business accounts are available upon request.
Why should I use ReportIt?
It's the smart thing to do. Nobody expects to be the victim of property crime, but if it does happen, you'll need to be able to provide the information to law enforcement and your insurance provider.
Is ReportIt secure?
The short answer is yes. But, if you want the details, here it goes... The information is password protected and is accessed via a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) network connection. This is the same type of connection used when you access your bank account online. The information you enter is also protected by the same high-level security measures that are used by financial institutions and government agencies.
What type of property should I keep track of in ReportIt?
Anything of value – think about collectibles, jewelry, electronics, machinery, lawn equipment, and even designer clothes and handbags.
Are the police able to search the information I store in ReportIt?
No, your information can only be accessed using your username and password. Should your property go missing, you'll be able to print the information from any computer with internet access and give it to your detective.
How can I help spread the word about ReportIt in my community?
You can download all of the ReportIt Community Tools here. This tool kit includes flyers and even a "How to use ReportIt" video that can be shown at neighborhood watch meetings.
