Taipei, Dec. 8 (CNA) The National Police Agency (NPA) has set up a special “civic forum” corner on its official Web site www.npa.gov.tw, on which members of the public are encouraged to leave comments about the police and their work, a spokesman for the agency said Tuesday.

A recent survey conducted by the Ministry of the Interior indicates that among the 10 biggest complaints of the general public, several are related to public safety and police work, rampant telephone and Internet scams, the high number of traffic tickets issued and illegal occupation of public pathways.

The NPA is also hopeful that the public will also post stories about good deeds done by policemen in addition to using the site as a space to voice their complaints, according to the spokesman.

The spokesman also reminded the public that the forum is different from the 110 police service phone number and that reports of suspected criminal activities should be made by calling 110 rather than by posting on the Web site. (By Lin Sheng-hsu and Lillian Lin)
