OROVILLE — A new records management system at the Butte County Sheriff’s Office has an element that allows the public more access to crime and other information.

The new records management system is called RIMS. The public aspect is called Citizen RIMS.

It will have information about incidents handled by the Sheriff’s Office, an interactive map displaying crime data, media bulletins and press releases. Residents can request vacation home checks or extra patrols, register security cameras and sign up to receive weekly or daily emails of past crimes. Additional features may be added later.

Citizen RIMS can be accessed at www.buttecounty.net/sheriffcoroner by clicking on the Citizen RIMS link. If you experience a problem with Citizen RIMS, email infosheriff@buttecounty.net.

Sheriff Kory Honea said, “We are happy to provide our community with a convenient way to access information relating to BCSO 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.”
