The Sussex Police website has been developed with you in mind. We have made every effort to make it accessible to all our visitors regardless of browser, platform or Internet connection speed, however, we do recommend the use of Mozilla Firefox or Opera due to the accessibility features that these browsers support.

Keyboard Access Data.

Increasing Text Size.

Some users might find screen text easier to read by increasing the size at which text is displayed. To do this you should simply adjust your browser's settings.

If you use Mozilla Firefox go to View menu select Text Size and increase (Ctrl +) or decrease (Ctrl -) the font size.

If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer, go to the View menu, select Text Size and then either Larger or Largest.

If you use Netscape Navigator, go to the View menu and choose Increase Font until the text is the size you require.
