"The national Police Portal project was the subject of a case study presentation at the 'Public Sector Online' event at Victoria Park Plaza, London. www.police.uk will be used as an example of how portals have become a popular method of collaborative working and the benefits of this approach. The UK Police Portal is the principle police-public interface for all 53 police forces in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It consists of the www.police.uk web presence, online non-emergency crime reporting system and a public messaging system which makes use of inbound and outbound sms/mms and telephony capabilities. These include text-to-speech and email functionality, which are all provided via a secure connection over the Criminal Justice Extranet (CJX). It enables forces to offer the public a range of communication channels." [Brief]
