Sarah Kane Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 No, I disagree. I think that employing a civilian to communicate force activities is part of being a visible police force. Visible doesn't mean I need to see a police officer out of my front window, it just means I need to know that they're doing things. You didn't think that individual officers were taking time out to tweat instead of policing did you? Although I suppose the community teams might do, as keeping in touch with their community, however they do it is part of their job. No i didnt. My argument is why pay anyone to tweat at all? We want coppers on streets not civis on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SYP, get of your backsides and makes our streets safer. Its your job!!! I guess you've gone through a lot of twitter and FB enough to make the call that a lack of visibility by the police is due to them being on their backsides twittering. You're using all the tools inc SF to put your argument across. How can they have a street presence if you're on the comp all day behind the curtains. Being a non user of FB and twitter you wont have a prob with me labeling you a "saddo"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinz Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Its a cheap and effective way to keep people informed. Exactly..In the same way we are being informed by SK. She should be out on the street making herself visible by carrying the torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
