Community portal gives families 'peace of mind', says officer

An Island police officer instrumental to a community project says it will give families 'peace of mind' over their loved ones.

The First Community Portal is a secure emergency services channel - developed by PDMS - designed for those who may be vulnerable or experience day-to-day difficulties.

PC Mike Griffiths added that families can be safe in the knowledge that 'their loved ones are in safe hands'. 

The project - launched in June - will run until December.
