Unpredictable Snow Storm on the way

**** First Call Snow Map *****

We say First Call because god only knows this storm will bite us in the butt and make us look like fools. But as of now this is what we are seeing. Could it be less?? Yes… could it be more?? highly unlikely. These totals are on the slightly higher side due to the complexity of this storm.

Timing is still a tough call but most of us will be asleep when the heaviest if you want to call it that of the snow will fall. It looks to last into the morning hours in the West and Central parts of the state. It holds out a bit longer in the East.

School delays will be expected especially in Central and Eastern CT. There may be some delays in the West towns but only as a precaution. Look for cancellations in Eastern CT and maybe some over protective school officials in Central CT.

This will be the heavy wet type snow so we could see some power lines and tree branches come down especially in Eastern CT causing some power outages.

Thats all for now we will follow up later on today. Enjoy the Sun while it lasts. It is much cooler outside and the temps will drop as the day goes along.

Stratford Police Has A New Online Self Reporting System

#Stratford CT–The Stratford Police Department has initiated a new “SELF REPORTING” system in order to help streamline the reporting process and provide greater access to the community. The system is intended to assist persons with  reporting routine incidents which may not require officers to respond to their homes/ businesses or locations directly.  This system also does not replace the 911 system for true emergencies that require an The online link for the site is: www.citizenselfreporting.com/Agencies/stratfordpdct

 

That will bring a person to the home page which explains how the system can be used and for what types of incidents. Anyone using this system must have a current/valid email address which the system will verify prior to giving access to using the system (email verification is sent for confirmation). Once the verification is received and clicked a person can enter the system and follow the steps to reporting an incident. That process is a step by step question process to be completed by the citizen. There are options in each step (lots of drop down answers available). When the citizen completing the report enters an answer with anything that the system feels needs to be reported directly to the police it will notify them, at which point the process will end and they will need to make a regular report (such as they know the suspect etc.).

Once the citizen completes the process and submits a report they will receive a verification email stating their report has been submitted and will be reviewed by the PD to determine if it meets the criteria to be processed which may take at least 5 business daya.

If a report is reviewed and determined to be valid then it will be assigned a case number and formally entered into the police incident report system. The complainant will be notified of the case number by email. A copy of the completed report can be picked up at the records division after this action, or retrieved from the DOCVIEW online report system.
