eCops

eCops is a community messaging system, which allows messages to be targeted at street level to subscribers by email – allowing the force to communicate directly to the people they need to, when they need to.

It is free and easy to sign up via the eCops website, and subscribers can register according to their location and interests, reducing information overload and ensuring that they receive targeted alerts that are focused on their own area and interests.

Messages can include crime news, information about crime happening locally, crime prevention advice, details about local incidents and appeals for help in reducing crime in the county.

Members can also reply to alerts, providing a quick and easy two-way communication between yourself and your local officers. You can can tell us about your concerns, to help us police your neighbourhoods effectively.

We believe that by being more aware of crime happening locally to you, you will be in a better position to protect yourself against falling victim to similar crimes.
