NOT CONFIGURED: Investigated 20 Sep 2026. Wiltshire Police publishes news and appeals at wiltshire.police.uk/news/wiltshire/news/ but provides NO public RSS, Atom, or API feed. All tested URL patterns (/rss, /rss.xml, /feed, /feed.rss, ?format=rss, ?format=xml, /rss/news, /feeds/news.xml) returned HTTP 403 (Cloudflare bot protection "Just a moment..." challenge page). The news page HTML contains no <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"> tags and no API/AJAX endpoints. The site is protected by Cloudflare which blocks automated requests. Some UK forces (e.g. West Yorkshire) offer RSS feeds, but Wiltshire Police does not. Manual monitoring only — admin should check the news page directly.
