subject: Report All Emergencies With Video Message [print this page] We have always had problems with reporting a crime or an emergency on time. In a recent article published by the Telegraph a research module conducted by Consumer Focus found that three out of 10 people who go to the police for help are left dissatisfied, with many feeling their concerns were a "low priority" for officers. Many said officers had an "unhelpful attitude" and that going to the police had been a "waste of time". The investigation by Consumer Focus, the statutory consumers' rights body, uncovered serious cases including assaults on children where the police failed to respond properly. The most common problem had to wait days for a police officer to respond after reporting a crime or anti-social behaviour, the report will say. One anonymous interviewee from Cumbria told researchers: "My daughter was attacked walking home from the park last summer. But the time the police arrived it was too late
How VMMS (Video Messaging and Video Mailing Service) reduces crime?
VMS is a service wherein one can send and receive unlimited video messages from any internet device to any other internet device. This means that if you have a mobile phone, PC, Laptop or tablet with an internet connection you can take unlimited videos from your device and send it any other such device that support an internet connection.
Now with VMS you are in control. You can report such incidents within seconds. Whether you are in a public transport, at home, at your office reporting to the police is just within your finger tips. Heres what you need to do.
Using this service is easy; first, one needs to log on to a site that allows users to send video message and video mail. Once registered, one needs to download the mobile apps of VMS or directly access through the website. As mentioned earlier Video message can be sent from any internet device. In that case, first one needs to enter the phone numbers of the recipient(s). Then he or she has to upload a video clip from the library or record a new clip to be uploaded. After the video clip is uploaded the last step is to click on the send button. The video will reach the recipient via a simple SMS. Once the SMS is opened then all he or she has to do is to click on a link to view the video.
In this way whenever you see an incident that needs to get reported you can send a video recording on the spot and not only help the victim but also the police department. If you feel that you can reduce crime in this way do try to talk to your community police department so that they can set up a similar structure wherein anyone can send the video messages and work together in reducing offense rates at the earliest.
