The official website of the City of Mansfield, Texas

ReportIt is a free, secure online service allowing citizens to record serial numbers and upload images for phones, electronics, and other valuables. Should the citizen later become a victim of theft or burglary, this information will go a long way in allowing the police department to accurately and quickly identify the property, as well as allowing the citizen to make a complete report to an insurance provider.

The ReportIt service is a part of LeadsOnline, the online system that works with police across the country to track and recover stolen property, which is based in Dallas, TX. The MPD uses LeadsOnline on a daily basis to help track and recover stolen property ---- everything from jewelry to sporting equipment to electronics, computers, cameras, and other items such as designer clothing, collectibles, and other items with invaluable personal worth. The system allows detectives to search for stolen items using a variety of parameters, including item descriptions and serial numbers.

The LeadsOnline database includes product information that is entered automatically whenever an item is sold to a pawn or secondhand shop. This information is immediately viewable by participating law enforcement agencies across the country. The MPD was a charter member with LeadsOnline and pays a yearly fee in order to access this database which has been invaluable in solving numerous crimes since its inception.

LeadsOnline is now making the ReportIt service available at no cost to the citizens of their member cities. Any Mansfield citizen can now register for the free service at reportit.leadsonline.com and immediately begin building their personal property inventory list. Citizens can store an unlimited number of serial numbers, item descriptions, pictures, and scans of receipts so that items can be more easily identified in the event of theft. The extent in which a detective can search for a stolen item is always limited to the description and information about the missing product that the citizen can provide.

None of the information entered by a citizen will be available or viewed by any other citizen or any police agency, and it will not become part of LeadsOnline database for searches. It is simply a safe secure online site for a citizen to create a list to keep track of their property. If the citizen were to sustain a loss, the citizen could then print the list and make it available to the police and or insurance provider. Likewise, citizens will not have access to the LeadsOnline system used by the police.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has scheduled another National Prescription Drug Take Back Day which will take place on Saturday, April 27, 2013, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. This is a great opportunity for those who missed the previous events, or who have subsequently accumulated unwanted, unused prescription drugs, to safely dispose of those medications.

In the four previous Take-Back events, DEA in conjunction with state, local, and tribal law enforcement partners have collected more than 2 million pounds (1,018 tons) of prescription medications that were removed from circulation.

The National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposal, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of these medications. The Mansfield Police Department has participated in every Take-Back event by providing a drive-by drop off located in the parking lot of the Mansfield Public Safety Building.

On Saturday, April 27, 2013, citizens may once again stop by the Public Safety Building and drop off their unwanted, unused, or outdated prescription drugs without any questions asked and without even getting out of their car.
