It is a site that allows users to leave feedback about their interactions with law enforcement and rank the officers' service. But the site has created some concern among law enforcement. The site allows users to submit the names of officers. What happens if that officer is undercover? Upper Darby Superintendent of police Mike Chitwood says the site is potentially dangerous. "When someone makes disparaging remarks about an organization or an officer that could be detrimental with them finding other employment or internally it's very hard for them to overcome that internally," Chitwood said. A spokesperson for the site said they had an incident where an officer's address and mother's address was posted on the site. It was removed. The spokesperson also said they have monitors that will remove personal information or the name of a cop who is undercover- the problem is not all those monitors are familiar with every police department in the country so they encourage both officers and civilians to contact them if they find any personal or harmful information on the site. The spokesperson also added that many police officers use the site. LINKS: http://www.ratemycop.com
