New police public info website online

The new Portland Police Public Information Office website has been developed to provide visitors with easy to access Police Bureau news releases, CrimeStopper alerts, Police Bureau news, photographs, and other news related information. The site was developed jointly by the Portland Police Bureau 's Planning and Support Division and the Bureau of Information Technology, CGIS division. The CGIS division developed the programming for the site and the Bureau of Information Technology hosts the site. The new website will streamline Police Bureau communications to both the media and the general public by offering 24/7 access to Police Bureau news. The site will also offer users an option for subscribing to a newly developed e-mail notification system. What 's different about this system? Users can sign up for a 24/7 e-mail notification service. Subscribers will receive alerts whenever news is added or updated and can customize the type of content that they want to view or receive. Subscribing to alerts is easy and users can update their options at anytime. Visitors do not have to sign up for e-mail notifications to view news or press releases. The system allows the police Public Information Office to post information directly to the website without the assistance of technical staff, speeding access to the information. Visitors will have a variety of ways to view, sort, and search Police Bureau news and articles. The PIO website is easily accessible through the Police Bureau web site: www.portlandpolicebureau.com
