• Devon & Cornwall Constabulary

The Devon & Cornwall Police website; the task I choose to try was from the youth zone link; it was to get advice both from the parents and then the child's perspective and then how to report child abuse. I navigated through the various information links and found it very easy to use. The navigation seem fairly consistent.

• Martinsburg Police Department

I felt this department website is kind of outdated in its design, the color scheme for me made it harder to read. I did like some of the pictures, and information on the local force and its history. In the links page I found some broken links, and some other links that may help me with my other class.

• Douglas County Sheriff

This website was the worst to navigate of the three; the page was way too long and irritating to look at. And I really didn't care for the audio either.
