Lets try and help the Police

Post by Annie. »

I have just downloaded a useful App from Apples website,its called Facewatch, the police have put the faces of criminals from the Riots on there hoping that the public can identify them,a very ood idea I thought, all you need to do is download the App onto your phone or ipad. Anything to help.

Of course if I know of a criminal I will notify the Police as all citizens should do.

Brilliant idea and well done for posting. I downloaded the application and have had a good look - nothing yet but imagine if everyone took the trouble - I know that scanning CCTV of those deplorable days took up countless hours of police time ( and courts, probation , prison too) . If all of us helped out by perusing these unprepossessing faces - it is not pleasant work , I grant you- they would be dealt with by now , leaving the police more resources to attend to more pressing things.
Full support from me .
Good evening
Nigel

I'm going to download it, Annie. I think it's a great idea.

Especially since you've had the most entertaining mobile phone induced finger trouble I've seen in a long while. Because ...
the Ood are a fictional alien species with telepathic abilities from the long running science fiction series Doctor Who. In the series' narrative, they live in the distant future (circa 42nd century).

Whilst the Ood initially appear as a slave race who become hostile, over the course of the stories they are shown to be a naturally peaceful race, and by The End of Time have progressed to becoming an advanced civilization which the Doctor thinks is impossible to have happened in the time span that it did (100 years from the end of their enslavement).
Very appropriate x

Haha really? Thats funny,
After I posted it I noticed the deliberate "cough cough" mistake and was afraid it might look like I had said odd, instead of good.

Excellent idea.

One can also follow the police (and helicopter) - various police forces - on twitter.

Thank you for the info, :0))
I have just been checking out the Facewatch App,if you put in different postcodes you get more of an idea of how many people the police are looking for.
I put in SE19 and there are 700 plus faces on there,its quite shocking really.
