 08-25-98 | Our Citizen's Self-Arrest Form is "Featured" at Mac's Picks of the Week | "Hi!
This is to inform you that your site has been picked as one of "Mac's
Picks of the Week" for one week, starting now...
Mac's Picks is a labour of love, a weekly web page dedicated to showing
new and old users of the Internet sites I have found of interest. From
Usenet, other "New Sites" sources, my own surfing of the net, and visitors
suggestions, I find sites which I feel are interesting, informative, and
just plain fun, and I publish links to them. I update this page on a
weekly basis, each Wednesday morning New Zealand time (GMT + 12 Hours)...
Sites picked as one of my "Picks of the Week" are picked solely on their
merit as being interesting, informative, useful, or just plain fun to the
web community at large. The main criteria for those pages picked is that
they must be able to be visited by all members of a household, regardless
of age or sex. Though there is no obligation to do so, all links back to
my little page are gratefully received.
Nice to see you on the web. May your fortunes increase and your days shine
brightly.
Best regards"

Our site is "REVIEWED" by theThe Internet TOURBUS Newsletter
 05-08-98 |
Here's what they said about us in their review:
"The Police Notebook site is absolutely huge! What impressed me the most about OU's Police Notebook was its Internet Safety section… This section contains information about:
- Ways to keep your kids safe online
- Notes, advice, and warnings for parents to read with their about Internet DOs and DON'Ts
- 147 safety tips for kids on a wide range of topics from handling emergencies to dealing with strangers to Internet safety.
- Things to remember when meeting people and giving out personal information on the Internet.
- Things to remember when shopping and transmitting financial information on the Internet.
- How to identify and deal with both real and fake computer 'virus alerts'
This section also includes links to the Federal Trade Commission's Consumer Alerts site and to a site that offers excerpts of a book titled 'Web Psychos, Stalkers, and Pranksters: How to Protect Yourself in Cyberspace.'
I'd also recommend you take a look at the Police Notebook's Master Index page… This index shows you all of the major documents that are available on the Police Notebook's Web site. Some of these documents are specific to the University of Oklahoma community (how to register your bike, etc.), but many of these documents are universal and deal with public safety issues such as:
- Crime prevention
- Personal safety
- Kid safety
- Fire safety
- First aid and health
- Drugs and alcohol
All in all, the University of Oklahoma Police Department's 'Police Notebook' Web site is one of the best law enforcement Web sites I have ever seen. With well over 500 web pages dealing with practically every aspect of law enforcement and public safety, the Police Notebook is a must-visit for anyone who wants to learn how to protect themselves both online and off.

outstanding page on the whole web.....Your arrest Page..."
-Joe Ryan aka Canned Heat

Webmaster's Note: It's always gratifying to get peer reviews particularly one as nice as Joe's.
Joe has been involved in law enforcement in Oklahoma (Blanchard PD Chief and Grady Co. SO Investigator) and Texas (Dallas PD and currently a Lieutenant in charge of Criminal Investigations at Shelby County SO) for well over 30 years.
Having a mere 23 years in law enforcement, myself, it's nice to hear from the "old timers"! (Just kidding! THANKS for the kudo, Joe!)
