IMPROVE THE VOLUME & QUALITY OF YOUR TIPS
Participation with The Most Wanted Network helps to get
warrants resolved and arrests made. It also supplements your
Community Oriented Policing program by empowering your
community to safely and anonymously do something about
criminals. The Network lets you share information about crime
without an increase in phone traffic.
Law enforcement agencies are reporting that The Network
makes the daily process of resolving warrants easier. Because
warrants are updated daily, the community will see that their tips
are working and that warrants are being resolved.
HOW WILL IT BENEFIT MY
COMMUNITY?
Your community will be empowered knowing that they have
access to all warrants 24 hours a day and can leave tips securely and anonymously through the site.
Law enforcement officials that have used The Most Wanted
Network feel that the public is more confident that they will
not be tracked down by the offender if they can provide a tip
on the Internet rather than by phone.
Employers and landlords will be able to use your listing, along
with the national listings, to check out potential employees
and tenants. Web surfers searching for information on old or
new acquaintences may hit on a warrant and leave a tip.
The bottom line is that The Most Wanted Network will help
you make your community safer at no cost to your department.

HOW THE NETWORK WORKS.
1. Your warrant data is automatically
exported from your system by a process
that you approve and delivered to our
servers via the Internet. At no time are
requests ever made back to your system.
This ensures your firewall and data remain
safely intact.
Once in place, the process occurs automatically and updates to your county’s
warrants section are made daily without
human intervention.

2. The Most Wanted Network receives the
data and differentiates between new and
resolved warrants based on the previous
day’s information. The system acts immediately by updating your county’s warrants
on the site.
4. Submitted tips are forwarded to the
email account(s) of your choice for review.
3. Visitors have the option of viewing the
newest warrants added that day, searching or browsing all warrants. Visitors who
would like to submit information can leave
detailed tips anonymously.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How secure is it?
Who are you?
Very. The warrant data is transmitted to The Most Wanted
Network via FTP (or other method) by your system. At no time
are you required to allow access through your firewall. Tips
are e-mailed to Crime Stoppers or your warrant officer’s email
account(s). Tips are not transmitted directly back to your system
by The Network. At all times, your internal data will remain safe.
Hello, we’re Xymmetrix. We own and operate The Most Wanted
Network. We are a Fort Wayne, Indiana based web development
and hosting firm who has been providing services to our local law
enforcement agencies since 1997. Over the years, we have implemented web technologies for our city Police, our county Sheriff’s
Department, the Fort Wayne Fire Department, and the Crime
Stoppers organization.
How easy is it to set up?
The setup process involves writing a simple data extraction script
that pushes your warrant information to us daily. We can help
you with that. Depending on your records management system, it
could be as simple as a phone call to your system vendor. We have
worked with several providers such as Spillman, OSSI and others.
The transfer of warrants to the Web site is automated so you can
concentrate on law enforcement and following up on tips. Once
the program is in place, there is very little maintenance required
by your department. If you choose to highlight certain warrants, a
simple online tool to select “featured” warrants is provided.
Can tips still come through Crime Stoppers?
We welcome interaction with your local Crime Stoppers organizations. We give the user the choice of submitting their tip directly
to your warrant officers or your local Crime Stoppers.
In 1998, with the cooperation of several counties and Sheriff’s
Departments in northeast Indiana, we launched
indianasmostwanted.com. The program became such an asset to
the participating law enforcement agencies that we quickly found
ourselves needing to offer services to counties outside of Indiana.
The Most Wanted Network was born.
What’s the catch? How can you provide this
service for free?
There’s no catch. It’s not our aim to charge individual departments
and communities for the development, setup and hosting costs of
the program. Much like a magazine, the operating costs are funded
through ad revenue. All we ask in return is for you to promote it
to your community once your warrants are online. That’s it. We
feel it’s a smart way for you to provide a proven, valuable service
to your community and help improve the efficiency of your department without incurring costs.
CASE STUDY
How The Most Wanted Network Has Worked for Allen County, Indiana
With more than 6,500 warrants outstanding at any time, Allen
County, Indiana wanted to get the community involved in resolving
its warrants. The Most Wanted Network automated the daily upload of warrants and photos from their computer system (Spillman,
in their case) and people started coming to the site before it was
even publicized.
Six months after launch, the site had been visited over 318,000
times and generated nearly 1,000 tips. The flood of tips resulted in
540 resolved warrants.
To Date:
5116
Total Online
Tips Received
Over 50% of the tips
resulted in an arrest
or resolved warrant.
1764
Total Arrests
1559
Additional warrants resolved
for reasons other than arrest
The Allen County Sheriff’s Department credits the success to the
anonymity that the site provides. Citizens feel they can safely supply
information to the officers who can use it.
