Content: These sort of posts can damage community trust and put your agency under public scrutiny. Therefore, it’s important for your law enforcement agency to develop solid policies guiding both department-approved uses of social media and officers’ individual uses. Building and Refining Your Social Media Policy
The International Association of Chiefs of Police suggests that law enforcement agencies determine the scope of social media policies before writing them. Your agency should determine the purpose of the policy, and decide what it needs to cover. Like other policies, your social media policy should clearly define terms up front so as to avoid confusion or disputes. IACP’s model social media policy defines things such as “blog,” “post,” “page,” and “profile.” From there, the policy should clearly establish acceptable and unacceptable uses of official and personal social media. Official Use of Social Media
Social media is becoming a more integral part of law enforcement operations. So agencies need thorough guidelines for how to use it to communicate. Many departments appoint a designated social media manager.
