Clearly it is intended for those use cases, because, as grandparent said, the links to find the answers are there, it's just not that easily available.
I'm not sure exactly what issue you're taking up here, because grandparent clearly states some very straightforward and common user scenarios that any police website should be expecting to handle, and handle efficiently.
This site loads like a dog on my machine. Or perhaps that's a shout out to the K9 unit.
- mikeash 14y agoExcept it's not the police web site. It's an auxiliary site intended for news. Go search for "Milwaukee police" and see what the #1 hit is and what the official web site is. It's not this one.
- nitrogen 14y agoThere's no harm in making contact information available on any police-related site.
- shaggyfrog 14y ago"Official" or not, it's a public-facing website for the Milwaukee police force. What it was "intended" for, and how the public is going to see it, are two different perceptions that are clearly not aligned.
- mikeash 14y agoI don't see how they're clearly not aligned. As far as I can tell, you got confused because you saw a direct link that was not well labeled and didn't notice the "news" in the URL. Do you have any reason to believe that the average person who goes looking for the information you describe will find and attempt to use this site?
- gknoy 14y agoWhile it's intended as a news site, it wouldn't hurt to have a more prominent link (if there is one?) to the actual police website.
