The force is ill equipped (technology & skill wise) to gather such data, but I still think there is hope. Why not create a framework (with income as an incentive) for "Gen Y" crowd etc to create such content?<br>

<br>
<div style="border-left: 2px solid black; padding-left: 5px;"> It is very unfortunate that in this day and age, government agencies still cannot take advantage of ICT to relay some relevant information (And here am talking about statistics of whatever nature)<div><br>
</div><div>Even if it is a subscription service, it would still be helpful.</div> <div>I have for the past few months been following keenly and trying to gather information about recent road accident statistics and the only statistics available are as of 2002!</div><div>And this was based on a research done by UON and KU professers</div> <div><br>
</div><div>Am sure there are government officials from various ministries on this platform, following silently, Can somebody kindly have the hardcopy of those reports/research/statics et al, being put on soft and made available online!</div> <div><br>
</div><div>It sometimes become very frustrating being thrown from one dept to another when all you wanted was just information.</div><div><br>

</div><div>Still no luck with the statistics and the Police traffic dept which ideally should have this info does not have it on soft.<br>

You want to hassle the MoT for the data, or Traffic Police HQs. In both cases, you are likely to encounter some very useless questions and time-wasting before you get the data. Better walk to the office you've opted for. Phone calls will not help.<br>
<br>
And just if you did not know - there are not any computers in the Police offices. The last time I checked, computers were prestigious additions gracing the furniture inside senior officers' offices - mostly for posing with during photo shoots. There is no active use of computers for daily work within the Police. I could be wrong, but trust me - I was there. Everything is done on paper and follows a specific channel (with no thinking involved). Police reforms have a long way to go. Something like Vision 3020! All you have to do is look at the Police website and take time to read the sketchy data in order to convince yourself on how far they are from the Information Age.<br>
