Ratings and Reviews
Good enough but …
I would suggest an automatic use “my location”option instead of only a app to ID the location, for this app to get the built in geo location of the users phone to the report ( unless that hidden of course ) Also a Freeform box to add any details to any reports. Plus a crime number generated and texted back to the user, plus ideally registering users could help with a choice of being anonymous. Plus forwarding of reports to the relevant authority based on the report, it suggests British transport police but also “some incidents are for councils to deal with”, well from a single app just forward it on to that authority.
999 is obviously for instant right now emergency and 101 for other stuff but this is a good start to online app based police help and information.
Out of date Information
Sign into this app as it has been advertised by local force, West Mercia. Info about local police team out of date. One of the officers mentioned as being part of the team was subject to discipline hearing about one year ago and has been barred from serving in the police. Another team member has also left the force. Have contacted several members of West Mercia and pointed this out, but nothing done.
Just checked, only one review showing although it shows 9 have been submitted.
