RSS Feeds from Police1

WHAT IS AN RSS FEED?

If you hate missing out on the latest news from Police1, are having a hard time managing the deluge of information you receive from our newsletters, or simply want a more convenient way to manage and control your online news and information, RSS feeds may be the answer.

Using very simple, easy-to-use, free or low-cost software called an RSS reader, you can have all the latest headlines on topics you choose delivered to your desktop for free. When your reader displays a headline of interest, click the headline and you’ll be whisked to Police1.com for the full story. This way you can see all the headlines from all your selected sources in a matter of seconds.

You can even choose to get “aggregated” feeds on a particular topic, in which headlines are delivered to you from a variety of sources. RSS makes keeping up with the information that matters to you easy.
