    JNET Success Stories

    Victim Advocates can leverage more services for their clients

    "By providing a platform to enter essential information, JNET provided a bridge to facilitate the transfer of victim information amid county and state services to promote victim services."

    Southern Regional Police Department Praise JNET

    “JNET is a critical tool in investigations. I solve crimes daily with the use of JNET and the information obtained through it from neighboring states like Maryland. Most recently the use of JNET helped to identify a suspect involved in the “Grandparent Scam” scamming hundreds of thousands of dollars from elderly people all over Pennsylvania and parts of New Jersey.”

    Crime Victims benefit from JNET

    “As a victim service professional, I have used JNET to locate and notify victims across the state of Pennsylvania. More than sending letters, there is a good chance some of those notifications have saved lives. I can say that I use it every day to help keep victims safe.”

    New Application helps in Child Predator Investigation

    Two hours after the reverse phone application was released, I ran a suspect account phone number in your Reverse Phone Search application and it returned the number attached to a real person who turned out to be a suspect in another ICAC case. This will allow continued investigation in this case.  So, thanks again for this. I will be using this search quite frequently. I just wanted to let you know how helpful this will be.    

    PennDOT Search Application aids in fugitive capture

    A PSP Trooper, from the Fugitive Apprehension Unit, was tracking a suspect wanted for rape. He located the suspect’s car and kept it under surveillance but did not have a photo of the suspect.

As a result, the Trooper was able to immediately identify the suspect and take him into custody. According to the officer, he needed a photo fast and JNET was able to deliver. The Fugitive Apprehension Unit uses JNET on a frequent basis to aid in the apprehension of fugitives
