Kansas Law Enforcement Reporting (KLER) System 

Completing and filing statutory repots are a common task for law enforcement agencies across the country.  In Kansas, the Kansas Highway Patrol (KHP) in conjunction with the TRCC partner agencies, have developed an electronic field-based reporting system for use by officers in completing and filing these statutory forms.  The KLER system is highly modular and can be used to improve reporting by agencies, both small and large.
