TYLER — Whether it’s a tree that’s down, a road that’s flooded, or suspicious activity within your neighborhood, officials say Smith County is now offering its residents one more tool to increase the convenience of reporting non-emergency incidents within the county. Just log onto http://www.smith-county.com and click on the “Community Incident Reporting” link.
Choose from any of the following report categories:
· Environmental Crime
· Fire, Flood or Natural Hazards
· Law Enforcement and Public Safety Incidents
· Road Issues
· Other
Residents can type in a brief description of the incident and their basic information if they wish to be contacted by the County. The Smith County online incident reporting tool is meant for incidents that do not require an emergency response. Reports can be submitted anonymously and at any time of day. The Smith County online incident reporting tool is not meant to take the place of calling 9-1-1 in an emergency. Officials say it is a tool to provide for added convenience as an alternative to utilizing the non-emergency Sheriff’s office number at 903-566-6600.
