Should Police Tweet Emergency Calls?
Police in the Surrey, UK region are considering using Twitter to report emergency calls that come into the station as part of their Twitter Week. Is this a smart move to get citizens more involved with their local police station, or divulging too much information?
As part of Twitter Week, which runs from now until July 17th, Surrey Police are currently using Twitter to report car crimes. And according to Elmbridge Today, they’re considering expanding their Twitter use to tweeting 999 (which is similar to 911) calls, too.
Currently, the police force is tweeting stolen and broken into car information in the hopes that it raises public awareness about their own car safety as well as maybe connects with a member of the public who has information about a stolen vehicle.
