MONROVIA, LIBERIA-An online Statistics Information System has been launched at the Liberia National Police Headquarters in Monrovia.

The “Go Live” system uses a web application that allows relevant institutions to record reported crimes and cases as they are processed through the criminal justice chain in Liberia.

A UNDP released issued over the weekend said the initiative is under a joint UN Liberia Rule of Law Program and brings together relevant UN Agencies under the UN  Global Focal Point on Rule of Law.

A Representative of UNDP, James Monibah, noted that the system will track cases through the criminal justice system by receiving information on the patterns of crime, its prevalence, the hotspots and areas of increase criminality.

For his part, the LNP Commissioner for Administration, Ambrose Nebo, thanked the UN for its continued support to the LNP, especially regarding crime statistics.
