CompuServe UK Launches CrimeBusters Forum 05/05/98 
READING, ENGLAND, 1998 MAY 5 (NB) -- By Steve Gold, Newsbytes. 
CompuServe's UK operation has launched a crimebusters forum for its 
subscribers. 
 
Known as the UK Police and 999 Emergency Services forum, the service 
has been established following the success of the UK Professional and 
UK Medical forums on CompuServe, which the service says have attracted 
high levels of usage by emergency services staff, particularly 
members of the UK police force. 
 
According to CompuServe officials, subscribers can now increase their 
awareness of UK crime prevention methods and make important 
contributions to community policing by taking part in the new forum, 
as well as being able to exchange online views with real members of 
the police force. 
 
Newsbytes notes that the forum has both public and private areas. The 
private areas include ones for police officers and for the 
International Police Association (APA). 
 
The public ones, meanwhile, include areas such as "Ask the Police," 
where members of the public can ask all sorts of questions, ranging 
from "How do I join the local Neighborhood Watch Scheme?" to "How do 
you join the Police Force?" 
 
Alternative sections cover other elements of crime prevention, as well  
as a file library, where users can download information files covering  
most aspects of policing in the UK, as well as bulletins from the FBI. 
 
CompuServe has appointed Jim McNulty, a retired Glasgow detective, as 
the UKPolice forum sysop. He said that the forum is already proving 
its value in terms of communication between officers and the public. 
 
"People chat to the officers, ask questions, and generally gain a 
better understanding of policing. Officers in turn obtain very frank 
feedback in relation to concerns and perceptions which the public 
have," he said. 
 
According to McNulty, "Such an exchange can only lead to a better 
understanding of policing needs by all concerned." 
 
To access the forum, CompuServe subscriber should issue the command GO 
UKPOLICE. Web users of CompuServe (<A 
HREF="http://www.compuserve.co.uk">http://www.compuserve.co.uk</A> ) can 
also certain access sections of the forum.
