Benefits
MyPolice is just another way for you to get closer to the neighbourhoods you serve and really understand what they want.
MyPolice makes your life easier by:
-
Increasing your visibility
As well as being visible when you are out on foot patrol you can now be virtually visible when you are online.
-
Broadening the range and diversity of the people you reach
MyPolice is a way for you to talk to citizens you wouldn't typically meet through traditional methods of consultation.
-
Reducing the demands on you and your team
The stories on MyPolice will enable you to spot problems before they escalate into issues that require time and resources.
-
Signposting
We believe crime is everyone's problem. Often the Police are held responsible by default. We signpost stories to other organisations such as the council, local schools and charities.
-
Giving you the opportunity to respond
We believe MyPolice will reduce complaints. In the current situation a person may have a minor concern or even misunderstood how the police have dealt with them, currently their only way to get that addressed would be to complain. MyPolice gives the public a different opportunity and gives you the opportunity to respond and clarify.
