Program and Service Improvements: Internet Access


"A Handful of Dells", originally uploaded by northsidebloggr

We recently acquired five pre-owned Dell workstations running Windows XP for use by our staff, volunteers, neighbors and others we serve at the Northside Community Police Center.

These workstations, along with our WiFi network, will enable easy access to our web site and the services available there, as well as elsewhere on the Internet for anyone visiting the Center.

At our site, users can receive information on filing a police report, volunteering and donating to the Police Center, or becoming a police officer with the City of Syracuse. They can also view a directory of services available through other units, departments, local governments and non-profit organizations, link to other sites, and contact us using an online form.

Users can also view information on and photos of our events, check our Event Calendar and access our Blog, "Seen From the North Side", all from the main page of our web site.

These computers will also make it possible for volunteers to do Police Center work using more current technology than what was previously available.

Having some additional licenses of Microsoft Office for these computers would also go a long way towards improving the productivity of our users, as would some new office chairs.
