SIRCS for rural communities launched

We were delighted to attend the launch of Rural-SIRCS at Attleborough Town Hall yesterday. We had lots of interest from people who attended the launch and even took an online payment via our website just 20 minutes after going live!

The Rural-SIRCS scheme is being introduced into the Attleborough/Thetford area by Norfolk police to enable residents and businesses living and operating in rural areas to take a stand against criminals. It is the first time a SIRCS scheme has been developed for use by members of the public and we hope that counties, districts and boroughs across the land will follow Norfolk’s lead in providing an effective means for the public to take part in the fight against crime and in making their communities a safer place to live and work.

The password protected crime management system gives users the ability to upload and share images and information about suspicious activity, crime and environmental incidents such as fly tipping. All images and data contributes to the national SIRCS system which is used by the police to disrupt offenders and reduce local and cross border crime.

For a small one off registration and annual membership fee of just over £2 per month you can become a member and upload your own information – click here
