A screen shot from 1st Feb 2003 of the Leicester Police site. Looking away from the design which will obviously have improved massively over the years, the actual content shows no advertising of the social media sites unlike todays version. I am unable to view the actual news that was displayed but the layout of it doesn't seem as up to date with how it is today.
A shot from May 2007, a improvement from 2003, the latest news is on show to the user, job vacancies are on the home page, links to other sites such as crimestoppers. Shows how much digital media has improved over 4 years from the site looking so bare with hardly any information on the site to where similarities can be seen from this site and now today, 6 years on.
The Facebook page, surprises me that it only has 6000 likes on the page whereas the Twitter page has over 25,000. The page doesn't display as many issues and reports as the Twitter, just more information on how to reduce crime like locking your house securely because of robberies within the area.
The YouTube channel for Leicester Police. Created Jan 2009, it now has 146 video uploads and 201 subscribers. Used to mainly show footage of crimes such as assaults and robberies, this enables the community to be able to try and help if they have seen anything, which from 5, 10 years ago would have just been a photo capture in a newspaper. Technology improving has clearly massively helped the way the Police not only try and reduce crime but also involving the community to help with any information they may have.
