Rolls Royce plant adds law-enforcement kiosk

September 10, 2006

Avon and Somerset Constabulary: Avon and Somerset Constabulary is linking up with one of the region's biggest employers to give people access to the force's Web site and multimedia services. A hi-tech Internet kiosk is being installed at the Rolls-Royce plant in Patchway, South Gloucs, as part of a partnership between police and the jet engine manufacturer. The kiosk will be available to more than 4,000 staff at the 30-acre site and will offer the latest Crimestoppers information as well as the opportunity to view crime reduction advice, report crime and have frequently asked questions about the police answered.

"The kiosks have proved very popular at other sites such as The Mall, Broadmead and at supermarkets and public buildings across the force area," said Avon and Somerset Constabulary Internet and multimedia manager Scott Fulton. "This is the first time we have linked up with a company like Rolls-Royce and Crimestoppers and hope the thousands of staff at Patchway will find the kiosk of benefit to them."

"We are looking to give people as much access to the police as possible and initiatives like this give people a daily insight to policing work, which they have not had in the past, as well as allowing us to deliver services to them electronically."
