Beginning Tuesday, October 15th, 2002 The Omaha Police Department will launch "On-Line Appointment Scheduling" on the Omaha Police Department Web Site. The goal of this initiative is to use staffing and tax dollars in a more effective and efficient manner.

Intended to provide faster service, this capability will allow people to go on-line to schedule appointments for certain business within the Omaha Police Department. Appointments may be made for handgun registrations, fingerprinting and taxi cab permits. Also, a person with an appointment will receive priority status over walk-ins at Omaha Police Headquarters.

"Because our on-line accident report system created by Cyzap was so successful, we decided to further expand the capabilities of our web site" states Lt. Jim Cisar, commander of the Omaha Police Customer Services Unit.
