Officer Radio 11/17/11: Social Media & Law Enforcement

Facebook? Twitter? Nixle? Join Officer.com Radio host Frank Borelli and his guest Christa Miller as they discuss social media and its place / interaction with law enforcement.

Not only has technology empowered law enforcement to perform certain parts of investigations faster, but it has also allowed the immediate sharing of information - of all types - by anyone who has internet access.  Law enforcement agencies are leveraging this "instant access" to information in many ways to include:

• sharing timely information with the communities they serve
• using social media sites as investigative tools in criminal investigations
• using social media sites as investigative tools in the hiring process
• using social medai site as investigative tools in adminstrative/internal investigations

Join Officer.com Radio host Frank Borelli and his guest, social media expert and columnist Christa M. Miller, as they discuss social media and law enforcement.  They'll take a look back at the history and evolution of social media, examine some types of social media that many of us don't think of as "social media", and how it's being used across the board by law enforcement agencies today.
