Those of you who read my pages will know that I’m able to keep an eye on my website’s activity and for some things I know where that activity is coming from.
Take my Home Security Survey application for example. We’re currently in the second quarter and so far most of the people who’ve used the app have come from the following counties:
- London (linked)
- Berkshire (linked)
- Lancashire (linked)
- Buckinghamshire (linked)
- Essex (linked)
- West Midlands
- West Yorkshire (linked)
- Bedfordshire (linked)
- Hampshire (linked)
- Surrey
Unsurprisingly the counties that have police forces who’s websites link to The Crime Prevention Website tend to be the ones that come high up the league table. It’s good then to see that West Mids and Surrey whose police services have chosen not to link do still feature in the table (I’ve got lots of Twitter and Facebook followers from those two areas).
However, my biggest disappointment is the poor activity I get from Devon and Cornwall. I suppose I feel particularly bad about it because I’m from that neck of the woods (Exeter), visit the area a great deal and have lots of family still living there.
The Devon and Cornwall police crime prevention people turned down my request for us to link our websites a couple of years back reckoning that they provided all the help the local population needed. Even my Mum’s local neighbourhood watch in Willand (controlled by the police) turned me down!
Fortunately I can still count a fair number of Twitter and Facebook followers from the peninsula, several of whom are police, and so I make this request to them and you:
Please can you mention my website to the people of Devon and Cornwall.
My website is certainly not there to replace the police crime prevention service, but it is there to provide that little extra guidance should the need arise (based on 32 years experience in policing and crime prevention).
Thanks very much :-)
