Online Watch Link

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Online Watch Link (OWL) is a web application to manage watch schemes such as Neighbourhood Watch (United Kingdom) and to act as a communications platform to allow watch coordinators and the police to send out messages to members. Other watch schemes are supported such as Pub Watch, School Watch, Farm Watch and Shop Watch to name a few.

OWL is the official[1] watch management and public messaging system used by Hertfordshire Constabularly. OWL was launched in mid 2006 as a pilot and by 2007 was rolled out across all districts in Hertfordshire. It's available to other Police forces in the United Kingdom and is not exclusive to Hertfordshire.
