FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cleveland, OH – uReport, an innovative and patent-pending technology designed to amplify the positive impact of law enforcement agencies, is proud to announce its official sponsorship with the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP). This collaboration aims to support law enforcement agencies across Ohio by providing a powerful tool to enhance community engagement, officer recruitment and retention, and overall department morale.
Law enforcement agencies today face unprecedented challenges—strained resources, recruiting difficulties, and a public perception shaped largely by negative media narratives. At the same time, thousands of positive interactions occur daily between officer sand the communities they serve, yet these stories often go untold. uReport changes that.
"We are extremely excited to be Supporting the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police," said Regan Fitzpatrick, Co-Founder of uReport. "uReport is a new ,patent-pending technology that helps amplify law enforcement agencies in several key areas. We cannot wait to engage with these agencies across Ohio through the OACP."
Addressing Critical Challenges in Law Enforcement
1. Community Engagement – Trust between law enforcement and the public is more critical than ever. With uReport, agencies can instantly create and share positive, professionally formatted stories showcasing officers' daily commitment to their communities. Whether it’s a heroic act, a school visit, or simple moments of kindness, these stories build stronger connections and restore public confidence.
2. Recruiting& Retention – According to a 2023 Police1 Survey, 79% of officers say negative media coverage has damaged recruitment efforts, while 52% say it’s impacting retention. uReport helps agencies take control of their narrative by highlighting why people join law enforcement—to help and protect others. By sharing these impactful stories, agencies can attract the next generation of officers who are driven to make a difference.
3. Department Morale – In an era where mental health and morale are key concerns, giving officers a platform to share their success stories creates a culture of recognition and pride. Officers can see firsthand how their work positively affects the community, fostering a sense of purpose and appreciation within the department.
4. Overcoming Limited Resources – Many law enforcement agencies are stretched thin with limited personnel and shrinking budgets. uReport bridges the gap by providing a cost-effective, AI-assisted platform that produces high-quality content at the scale of an entire media team—without adding to department workloads.
Through this strategic partnership, uReport and OACP will work together to bring this essential technology to agencies across Ohio, equipping them with the tools needed to strengthen relationships, improve recruitment, and boost morale in ways never before possible.
