Abstract

The Police Activity on Social Media Guideline, produced by the Police Board, is for all officers and trainees of the police force. The Guideline emphasizes the importance of social media in the police’s strategic work and in strengthening public trust. The Guideline covers organizational roles, different social media accounts, language and image use, interaction with the public, and police behaviour on social media. A more detailed social media guideline for the police, which addresses issues such as combating targeting, is considered strategic but is not publicly available.
