We also felt it was important to develop a system of notifying citizens and business personnel of important traffic information or upcoming events. We accomplished this utilizing a Java-script scroll, which is updated as needed to advise motorist of construction sites and traffic delays. It also scrolls information about upcoming events such as National Night Out or Bicycle Registration. It is also useful in pointing out areas of interest within the Website. Next, we addressed the police curiosity issue.
Many people are interested in seeing the equipment the police use on a daily basis.
From what's on an officers belt to what equipment is in the police car. We also created a virtual tour of the Police Department that allows visitors the opportunity to explore the inside of the police station. Next, we determined that many of the mundane tasks that required persons to come to Police Headquarters to complete could be completed on-line. Crime Prevention survey appointments, request for police speakers at civic meetings and enrollment in Operation Reassurance can now be completed on-line. We also determined that useful Crime Prevention information should be put on-line.
