BOULDER COUNTY, CO — A new online crime reporting tool has been launched in Boulder County. The new system allows people to report non-emergencies and non-violent crimes that occurred in Lyons, Superior and unincorporated Boulder County. The submissions will be reviewed by the Boulder County Sheriff's Office, and if more information is needed, the office will reach out to those who made the reports. Typically, further follow up is not required, officials said. The new system will "give the public the opportunity to more easily file a report, saving precious time for the public and deputies and eliminating waiting time to file a simple report," said Joe Pelle, Boulder County Sheriff.

"If an incident is occurring in the moment or involves a gun or other deadly weapon, please call 911 for emergencies or our non-emergency number at 303-441-4444," the office said in a news release. "Traffic accidents should also be reported to a dispatch center and not reported using the new online system." >> The new online reporting system can be found here.
