Summary
"Contact management is about how the public
communicate with the police service and the
subsequent provision of service. Whilst much of that
contact is through the telephone, the scope is wider
and also includes short message service (SMS), internet,
mail or fax and direct forms of face-to-face contact,
whether through front counters, neighbourhood teams
or other specialist policing resources.
In order to develop effective approaches to managing
contact through these channels, it is essential that
forces understand the needs of their communities and
raise standards of service delivery across the whole of
the organization." -- Page 4.
