New Crime Website launched

[xtermin8or]

The South African Police Service has just launched a new website

Online SAPS Journal

The aim of the website is to improve interaction between the police, community and the Media. The new website will carry information on Police Initiatives in crime combatting and also information on the investigation of crimes. The website will also publish crime stories submitted by the Public, contributions and suggestions to fight crime will also be published

This is good news

I am curious. Is this an official website or is it as amateur as it looks?

Address details of webmaster :
Superintendent Johan Heuer Tel:+27 (0)12 393 2040

So it seems to be official..... Else he wouldn't acknowledge his details online.

Have you *seen* the official police site? Amateur is their watchword.

Amateur or not.

I'll give it a thumbs up if it shows the true figures !

 

[Leitmotif]

As shall I.

What gets me on the SAPS site is that under Firearms Safety they have a diatribe about domestic violence and some arb stuff about BB guns. Yes, you should have your partner's guns confiscated because they may lead him/her to victimise you.

Grr.

Of course it's official, did you guys doubt me ? I am in shock

 

[Leitmotif]

Not you. The creator of the site.

Hm. Maybe they'd accept help putting together a better version.

Not you. You must admit, as far as websites go this one is incredibly bad.

Quick call an ambulance .... Oh, no, I forgot, they don't answer their phones either

Honestly, I fail to see the point of spending money on a separate propaganda site like this. It's so blatantly biased.

A case of the SAPS trying to manage the image rather than the crime problem?

 

[Paulr]

It is actually nice to see some success stories, as opposed to all the bad news you see in the media.

Granted, the police still have a LONG way to go to get crime under control, but every single day we just see bad bad bad bad bad in the press.....

This might balance perceptions a bit, hopefully.

Yet, action speaks louder than words.........

Definite contender for the world's most terrible web design.
But that should be expected from a cop superintendent cum webmaster. LOL.

Any webdev/hosters here willing to donate them a neat web portal?
