RANKINGS. Just like the fire service, the national police have been monitoring social media for several years now.
Practices vary from one department to another. Keeping the public informed about risks, ongoing operations and the day-to-day running of the service, as well as relaying prevention messages… There are many ‘good reasons’ to communicate.
