HCSO updated Citizen RIMS provides detailed officer-citizens interactions; direct service requests to be available soon

 


The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office has launched a comprehensive update to its Citizen RIMS platform, developed in partnership with Sun Ridge Systems. This modernized system transforms how community members access public safety information, delivering improved functionality and deeper transparency in law enforcement operations.

Since establishing the original Citizen RIMS in 2018, the Sheriff's Office has maintained its commitment to public access of crime and activity data. The enhanced platform significantly expands these capabilities with advanced tools designed to foster greater community engagement and understanding.

The platform now includes comprehensive Stop Data reporting, fully aligned with California's Racial and Identity Profiling Act (RIPA) of 2015. This addition provides detailed documentation of officer-citizen interactions, demonstrating the department's dedication to transparent and equitable policing practices. Community members can now explore dynamic incident mapping to identify neighborhood trends and patterns, while enhanced crime statistics feature user-friendly charts and visualizations that make data interpretation more accessible to residents seeking to understand local safety conditions.

The platform serves as a centralized resource for daily media releases, stolen vehicle reports, missing person cases, and recent arrest information. This consolidation ensures residents have streamlined access to critical public safety updates. A security camera registration feature enables residents and business owners to voluntarily register their surveillance systems, creating valuable investigative resources that strengthen collaborative safety efforts throughout Humboldt County.

Additional functionality will be introduced in the coming months, including direct service request capabilities that will allow community members to interact with the Sheriff's Office through the platform.

“The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office is committed to earning our community’s trust by providing essential public safety information,” said Sheriff Honsal. “The upgraded Citizen RIMS platform is another step toward delivering professional, transparent, and community-focused law enforcement in Humboldt County.”

Previous Citizen RIMS users should update their bookmarks, as the web address has changed with this upgrade. The new platform can be accessed at: HCSO.CitizenRIMS.com.

The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office encourages all residents to explore these enhanced resources and maintain an active connection with their local law enforcement services through this improved digital platform.
