Content idea: introduce your Safer Neighbourhood Team to the community

Why not introduce your local Bobbies on the beat to your readers with a short post about them, much like Newcastle Rocks have done in this simple post, which includes details of the Newcastle PSNI station, Who’s Who and statistics on How They’re Doing.

Try reaching out to your local Safer Neighbourhood Team and asking if they’d like to send you locally relevant information to publish on your website to reach the community.  William Perrin often receives press releases and appeals from the Caledonian Ward Safer Neighbourhood’s Team, which he publishes largely unedited on the Kings Cross Environments website.

If the local police force recognize your site as a means through which they can talk with the local community, you could find this generates incredibly useful content for your website or, in the case of Tamworth Blog, some incredibly exciting content when the authors found themselves invited to accompany the police on an early morning drug raid as part of Operation Nemeses!!

Nicky is the Communications Manager at Talk About Local – recruiting, training and working with IT trainers and active citizens across the UK to help them create and develop simple yet effective community websites and online profiles. She managed the popular Birmingham hyperlocal website Digbeth is Good since it began in May 2008 until December 2011. Nicky is interested in ways of using storytelling, game-playing and events within communities to tell their stories and effect positive change.
