24-038 Reducing the Need to Make Duplicate Copies of CDW and Coplogic Reports

As a result of system automations in Laserfiche there is no longer a need to submit copies of CDW or Coplogic Reports to Crime Information Services Unit (CISU), Records Management or General Work.

Members must continue to send Juvenile arrest reports and original citations directly to the Juvenile Justice Center via intra-department mail, fax, or email.
