It has been six months since Matt and I started Spartan Cops. The response has been good. Over the last six months 8,770 unique visitors have looked at 27,692 pages on our website and we have received a lot of emails of support and appreciation. Please mention our website to any fellow officers that would find it useful.
Over 200 others don’t even have to come to the Spartan Cops website because they subscribe and have the articles emailed to them or sent to their RSS feed reader. (Watch this short video if you want to know what an RSS feed reader is.) Emailed articles are also easier to share with others.
