Australian Cops Want Crimes Reported Via Facebook

Police in the Ballarat region of Australia want citizens to report crimes via Facebook.

Police officials in the Ballarat region of Australia are encouraging citizens to report all low-level Facebook crimes via the website instead of flooding their offices with phone calls.

Law enforcement officials in the area have already sent out fliers alerting residents to the latest procedures involving the social networking site. The announcements are directing Facebook users to contact the site’s abuse department, abuse@facebook.com, instead of calling area police personnel. The more serious abuse issues should still be reported to police, users are being cautioned.
