A WEBSITE set up by a police constable has won a prize from The Northern Echo.
PC Greg Snowdon is the youth action officer covering the Hambleton area for North Yorkshire Police. He works with young people at risk of offending, or who have already committed minor offences, in an attempt to divert them away from the crime.
PC Snowdon has set up a website to explain his role and to give contacts in the Hambleton area. The website, www.communigate.co. uk/ne/hambletonyouthaction, has been chosen by Communigate as the pick of the month for March.
PC Snowdon has won a Praktica V2.1 digital camera donated by sponsors, Sales and Marketing Services, based in Darlington.
He said: "It is very early days with the website. It has only been up and running for about a month. I think the Communigate websites are a wonderful idea. Anything that can raise the profile of community groups has got to be a good thing."
