Spot a crime? Send us a text!

24.03.2010

Warsaw is asking anyone who spots a crime to send in a text to the local municipal guards.

 

The municipal guards in Warsaw have come up with a new idea to help combat vandalism on city transport. Crimes such as theft, vandalism or assault can be immediately reported to the municipal guards via a text message.

 

“Mobile phones is to act the hidden weapon of city commuters. A text message is a safe and discreet way of communicating with the guards,” says the Warsaw Municipal Guards, assuring that after receiving such a message a patrol will be sent immediately to intervene.

 

The project is to be put into life in some three weeks time .
