| Description: |
An innovative initiative in its early days is the Springhill Police Service’s use of social media to share information with the community. This initiative is quite promising as it requires minimal resources to implement and it reflects the growing trend of organizations using social media to interact with an increasingly ‘connected’ generation. Increased interaction with the community is likely to lead to greater cooperation and engagement with police, resulting in increased credibility. This initiative will continue to be monitored, as its potential outcomes are promising and it can be replicated by other police services with ease and little expense. |
