A system allowing residents to follow cases they reported has been set up to cover all grassroots prosecuting authorities in Beijing.

This means any resident who reports a case involving a person outside the resident's living area can follow the case through their local prosecuting authority rather than having to go to the authority with jurisdiction.

The platform was established in May 2012 to help residents efficiently follow cases they reported and to effectively supervise the work of prosecutors, the Beijing People's Procuratorate said on Monday.
