What is the MyStreet app?
The “MyStreet” app is designed for the community to use with benefits for professionals within the communities as well as police.There are different apps depending on your area and the three main tiers to the app are:
- Support signposting – To help the public and victims with direct links and information to local Councils, crisis centres, help and advice services and much more.
- National – Reports can be made to Crimestoppers, HM Revenue and Customs, Citizens advice, National Crime Agency, RSPCA, Environments agency Department of Transport to name but a few.
- Local Services - Reports for fly tipping, street lighting, noise complaints, potholes, shrubs and trees to be cut back etc. In this area what the app does differently is tap into existing reporting methods connecting to the correct reporting form which gets reviewed by the head of the relevant department.
