The introduction of online crime reporting in North Yorkshire has not led to a reduction in the number of calls to 999 or 101.
Things like traffic offences and antisocial behaviour can now be reported on the force's website.
Superintendent Mike Walker says the online systems have not led to a reduction in the number of incidents that get reported to the control room.
The introduction of the online crime reporting system in North Yorkshire has actually led to more incidents being reported to the force.
North Yorkshire police say that the number of 999 and 101 calls has not fallen and the incidents being reported online represent additional demand for their services.
