The creators of a website that allows members of the public to interact with police officers are urging locals in Perthshire to visit.
This week, Tayside Police became the first force in the UK to take part in a three-month trial of mypolice.org.
During the pilot, eight officers of various ranks will communicate online with members of the public living in the south Perthshire area.
However, site co-creator Lauren Currie is concerned that locals have been slow to take part in the trial and hopes to get the ball rolling by visiting the participating communities.
She told The Courier that she and her colleagues plan to visit schools in Auchterarder, Crieff and Kinross to ensure as much people as possible are aware of mypolice.org and the work it does.
The site allows people to send feedback and give their opinion about their experiences, both positive and negative, helping to make sure responses are given by the relevant police department or community officer.
It is also an impartial, independent space where people can find out who their local police are and what they do.
Finally, MyPolice collects data based on real customer experience and feeds it back to the police, which creates a deeper understanding of what the public wants, bringing the police and public closer together.
After the pilot phase, MyPolice intends to be a website that provides one national site for discussion of police services, with postcodes allowing comments to be directed to the appropriate force.
