Pocket Sized Policing Goes On The Beat - 24/08/2011 - Police Oracle
Surrey Police CC Mark Rowley said:
"There has been a lot of bad publicity recently about Twitter and policing and today we can turn all that on its head. What we are trying to do with Surrey Police Beat is to make visible what their local officers are doing for them on a day to day basis. It also allows the public to comment, so it is a two-way flow and it is more dynamic that anything we have had before."
Angus Fox, Director at Multizone said:
"Other forces are all watching to see what happens in Surrey. We have lots of support from the Home Office, the NPIA and from ACPO, who are keen to help us take it out to more forces, with their guidance. There is interest from a range of different forces to Surrey, including Scottish forces, so it is making us think about developing its capability," he added.
