Law Enforcement Websites
Why all municipalities should have a separate law enforcement website

With the changes to the law enforcement landscape in the USA, EvoGov is upgrading more law enforcement websites than ever before.
It is our experience and belief that municipal police departments need their own websites, and should not be integrated into a municipality's website.

Having a separate law enforcement website is important for a number of reasons:

  • DEDICATED DOMAIN NAME
    It should be possible to access your law enforcement website at its own domain name.
  • LAW ENFORCEMENT HOME PAGE
    Law enforcement agencies need their own home page so that they can include the necessary features like; news, action buttons, slideshows, videos, and much more. Those features just don't integrate well in a plain-looking department page that is part of the municipality's website.
  • EMPLOYMENT INFORMATION SECURITY
    Job postings and applications for employment for police officers requires MUCH more security than the municipal website can provide. Personal information on police officers and candidates must be separated from the municipal website to restrict access to that data.  
  • FORM INFORMATION SECURITY (CRIME TIPS)
    It is important to keep crime tip form submissions secured from unauthorized access by municipal employees.
  • SOCIAL MEDIA INTEGRATION NEEDS
    Law enforcement agencies always have their own social media accounts. In some cases, we are seeing police departments "de-platform" from Facebook to avoid the negativity and headache that happens towards police departments on Facebook. Those police departments are moving to mass email, mass SMS texting, and news posting to replace Facebook. For the many police departments that enjoy using Facebook and other social media platforms, it is important to integrate those into the police website better. That isn't easy to do if the police department's content is shoved into the municipal website. Municipalities need to provide police departments with their own site so that they can have better outreach to the community and better recruitment of new officers because of the competition to hire officers.
  • SPECIFIC USER TRAINING
    EvoGov will work directly with your law enforcement staff to design and manage their website.

For example, department pages include: 

  • Department Home Page Slideshow
  • News and Press Release Area (dynamic)
  • Events and Meeting Calendars (dynamic)
  • Action buttons (uniform set design site-wide across all departments)
  • Welcome Message
  • Staff Directory
  • More

Which departments require a custom home page design?

Some departments at towns, cities, and counties are VERY content-heavy, and they require a customized home page or a separate website altogether. One way to avoid building a separate website for these busy departments is to build a custom home page for them. This is sometimes necessary when a standard department page just won't do for these very busy departments. A custom home page allows for a more robust home page that is dedicated to the department, giving them the full width of the screen for interactive elements and action items. Custom department page design requires more setup time, meetings, and design work to accomplish, but your overall website will be more polished and easier to use with these home pages in place.

Here are some examples of departments that may need a custom home page:

For Towns, Township, Boroughs, and Cities:

  • Police Department - Need to show job openings, crime reporting, a link to pay fines, and property wellness check forms, social media accounts.
  • Parks and Recreation - Need to show activity guides, field conditions, facility reservations, pay for class signups, social media accounts.
  • Code Inspection - Need to show a 311 system for reporting code violations, and more.
  • Public Works - Need to show road closures, construction projects, emergency messages, and more.

For Counties: 

  • Sheriff Office - need to show jail reports, warrants, recruitment, social media accounts, etc.
  • Courts - Need to show jury duty information, a way to pay fines, building locations, jail information, FAQ, more.  
  • Public Health - since Covid-19, public health departments need new communication tools.

What is the cost of a custom home page for a busy department?

The cost is $1500-$2400 depending on the amount of work and features involved.

Custom Website Search Engines

We offer three options for search engines in your website. The first two are free and included with your hosting: 

  1. CMS Search Engine - Included Free 
    Our content management system has its own search engine that can be setup to search within files that you upload as well. This is a basic search engine that is automatic and not configurable for custom search results. It keeps the visitor on your site had has no advertising in the results.
  2. Custom Google® Search Engine - Included Free Upon Request
    This is a powerful search engine from Google that is customized for your site's domains only. This is a paid search engine that EvoGov pays for as part of your website hosting services. We provide the custom Google® search engine for free to customers that request it.
  3. Elastic® Search - Starting at $79/mo.
    Elastic® is an enterprise-level search engine company that used to only be available to fortune 500 companies. It is now cloud-based and available to everyone inexpensively.  This is a fantastic search engine that most of our county customers and larger municipalities prefer. Elastic makes it possible to customize your search results, add multi-lingual synonyms, and get detailed reports on what your visitors are searching for. The analytics this provides are super-powerful and they enable you to make decisions on what is popular in your website, and what users are having a hard time finding. Sites that use this search engine are typically designed with what we call a "Search-Centric Design" which has a large search box right on the center of the home page. The great thing about this search engine is that it used to require an expensive server and maintencance, but it is now available as a cloud service for under $100 per month. It can be setup in one day and used right away. We strongly recommend this solution if your site visitors complain about not finding things, and you wish to have a search-centric design as part of your website's redesign.

Typically a branding guide is a PDF document that has specific information for setting your organizations design standards.
    These typically include:
    • Typography - These include page headlines, section headers, logo fonts, and more. All font files need to be easily accessible as part of the guide.
    • Positioning statements (small, medium, and large) that describe your organization or community.
    • Color guides that specify primary colors, secondary colors, and perhaps attention-grabbing action colors for print and web. 
    • Color values need to be provided in both web format and print formats.
    • Stock photography resources.
    • Video clip resources.
  • Color Scheme Help
    EvoGov can use your base colors or photography to develop and official color scheme for your branding guide using best practices. We utilize tools like Adobe color to create your official color palette.

An official branding guide will cost $1800 to produce.
Hourly work to remaster a logo by itself is billed at $140 per hour.

Please Note:
There are branding companies that can provide you with brand research, create print materials and themes, come up with slogans, brand new logos, streelight signs, etc. Those efforts cost tens of thousands of dollars and that is not what EvoGov provides. We will simply create or re-master your logos and design elements so that your website project, social media projects, and your other communication projects are more successful.

3rd Party Application Integration

We are often asked if we can integrate with other software providers. Most of the time, we are simply linking to outside portals for things like; bill payment services, agenda management systems, 311 system GIS servers, and other dynamic portal links. In most of those cases, "integration" is nothing more than a hyperlink to us. 

There are some cases, however, where we are asked to create custom graphics to wrap these other applications so that the look and feel matches the new website designs that we build on our platform. That type of design integration work is rarely included with our development contracts, so they are handled on a case-by-case basis and are billed hourly at our standard rate of $140 per hour.
