The Civilian Crime Reporting Hotline (CCRH) is a hot-line open to all citizens who wish to report suspected criminal behavior or conduct that might be contrary to the laws of the Kusari Legal Codex within Kusari territory, or behavior by entities that might endanger Kusari national security.
Reports are submitted by entities that are not law agents, and are required to be taken up by law agencies. Civilian reports only confer a “suspect” status on the reported entities, and it is the duty of law agents to evaluate the accusations and raise it to criminal status. Law agents should also investigate the veracity of submitted witness reports, to prevent harmful and hampering abuse of the justice and bureaucratic system.
-----------------
The CCRH is open to all civilians who have neutral or friendly relations with Kusari institutions, and wish to report suspects of criminal actions according to the Kusari Law Codex in effect.
Witnesses should provide their own identification (Name and affiliation), Suspect name and affiliation, the crimes the suspect is accused of and visual or textual evidence of those crimes, as well a small statement of the event.
Law agents should use the reports to evaluate the likability of a criminal case, and proceed with investigations with the suspect and witnesses as soon as possible.
Should the suspect be found guilty of said crimes, or show unsubstantiated lack of cooperation with the investigations, it is the role of the agent to report said person to the LER for widespread notification of the criminal actions.
It is also the duty of the law enforcement to verify the veracity of the citizen reports, and should there be any evidence of false statements, or reporting of innocents to cause deliberate harm or slander, appropriate action will be taken against the reporter, such has denial of access to the CCRH, or other penalties applicable by law.
All citizen reports are confidential and viewable only by members of the Law Enforcement Agencies of Kusari (KNF, KSP, and affiliated individuals and organizations).
