Being informed a powerful tool |
|
October 18, 2017 |
Being an informed and aware citizen is a
powerful tool and the recent article concerning
local law enforcement efforts was both
informative and useful (Bonners Ferry Herald,
October 12, "Crime still happens in a small
town.")
However, reading the list of published service
calls is tedious at best. That list is by no
means a complete picture of activity and is
easily forgotten or overlooked.
Perhaps using the tool
communitycrimemap.com is something the
county and city should consider implementing.
NIXLE.com is
another service that could prove timely,
beneficial and informative. Leave out the “it’s
going to snow” messages and concentrate on
accident(s), find another route, lost persons,
police action, avoid area, etc.
Information inputted will still be at the
discretion of law enforcement and may be
incomplete, but at least it is a start. |
