GOSHEN – The Orange County Sheriff’s Office has launched the LeadsOnline program to assist with record keeping for precious and scrap metals in the county.
The new partnership will allow the sheriff’s office to redirect manpower resources required for data input for precious metal sales in the county, creates a database and stores records for law enforcement to use in criminal cases involving stolen precious or scrap metals, said Captain Scott Hamill.
LeadsOnline is an online investigation system for law enforcement, providing rapid electronic access to transactions from thousands of reporting businesses including scrap metal processors, secondhand stores, Internet drop-off stores and pawn shops across the country as well as information from eBay listings for criminal investigation.
