Cops…Facebook style
Posted on January 15, 2009 by Chris
The New Zealand police recently used Facebook to get out the message, or specifically the pictures, of a would-be safe cracker they captured on a security camera.
“The Queenstown police are calling it their first Facebook arrest. The police department created its online presence on the site just two months ago, said Constable Sean Drader.”
It is really interesting to see law enforcement embrace Web 2.0 to improve their ability to catch criminals. I wonder when the first police department will go up on Twitter? It would be the Internet version of the police scanner.
