- Online Watch Link
-
Online Watch Link (OWL) is a commercial 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 for example.
OWL is used by Hertfordshire Constabularly[1], Staffordshire Police, North Wales Police and Gwent Police. OWL was launched in mid 2006 as a pilot and by 2007 was rolled out across all districts in Hertfordshire. It was recognised by the Government in January 2009 by awarding it an e-Government National Award[2] for innovation.
