The new practice will be first piloted in the city of Peterborough, Cambridgeshire County.
Law enforcement officers will continue to make home visits, however, the public will be encouraged to try to solve any issues they may have by calling the police by telephone or Skype, or by dropping into their local police station in person, the TV channel stated.
"We understand people have busy lives and this service will provide flexibility, with appointments from 8am to 10pm seven days a week," the statement on Cambridgeshire Police website reads.
The initiative was originally put forward by Ian Hopkins, the then deputy chief constable of Greater Manchester Police, in 2014.
Hopkins also suggested that one of the world’s largest social networking websites, Facebook, could be used to report crimes to law enforcement agencies as well.
Opponents of the move have labeled it "a retrograde step," questioning its efficiency and ability to help those in need.
