Presentation to City of Janesville City Council Amendment to JGO 5.52 Presented by: Officer Brian Rubeck & Officer Doug Johnson
Reason for Regulation of Pawn Shops, Secondhand Article & Jewelry Dealers Wisconsin s.s.134.71 is the law regulating pawn brokers and secondhand dealers. The state statute specifically
authorizes municipalities to enact ordinances for regulation. The regulation is necessary for theft prevention, recovery of stolen merchandise, and consumer protection.
Current System of Regulation Janesville Police Department currently regulates numerous stores within our corporate city limits. There are multiple, unorganized methods of reporting
transactions. The current system of regulation is difficult to manage and is labor intensive. The efficiency of the police department is compromised under our current system.
Snapshot of Current System Paperwork This photo represents our first year, 2006, of organized regulation of three major stores in our city.
The Regulation Area of the Police Department The next slide shows where the current slips are kept in the police department. One month of paperwork is shown. There are statutes
that dictate these records be kept for seven years which presents storage considerations for the records.
How we process the information Paperwork from stores is processed at the police department into a software program. The current system requires extensive labor for entry. The current
system is difficult to keep up to date. Manual checking of transactions to stolen property lists. Not all law enforcement agencies have access to our “homegrown” system of recordkeeping.
A Better System for Regulation APS & Leads-on-Line APS is a system created by the Minneapolis Police Department. There are costs associated with APS both to the police departments
and to the store owners. Leads-on-Line is another system used by police departments and it is based in Dallas, Texas. There are high costs to Leads-on-Line. NEWPRS is free to law
enforcement and stores.
NEWPRS NEWPRS=Northeast Wisconsin Property Recovery System. Created by the Green Bay Police Department . The system is operated on a secure based web-site. There are no costs
associated with NEWPRS. The system is FREE for both police departments and stores. The only requirement to stores is that they have an internet connection.
Advantages of a Computer Based System NEWPRS Reduction of labor costs to the Janesville Police Department. Reduction of supply costs to the Janesville Police Department. Searching
for property will be enhanced. All law enforcement agencies can search NEWPRS free of charge. Stores will be able to conduct all transactions via computer-no more hand writing slips.
Stores will no longer need to have paperwork mailed to our department or picked up in person by a police officer.
Reason for Amending JGO 5.52 Amendments will require stores to report transactions to the police department daily on a computer based system. The amendments will enable the police
department to become more efficient. The changes to the ordinance will aid our police department and other law enforcement agencies in solving crimes. The amendments to the ordinance
would cost nothing to the City of Janesville. The amendments will cause change to private business' operations but at minimal impact.
