Southern Illinois joins statewide program
Southern Illinois police and sheriff departments will join Illinois law enforcement in a statewide crime reporting system called the Illinois Uniform Crime Reports.

The system aims to ease information exchange between departments and replace the FBI report for Illinois data.
