Social media feeds will show police work live
ISLANDERS will have a chance to see what life is really like for those working with Guernsey Police this weekend.
From 5pm on Saturday, #TweetontheBeat aims to give the community insight into the work of Bailiwick Law Enforcement by publishing details in real-time on social media.
Guernsey Police deputy chief officer Ian Scholes said the force was looking forward to engaging with the community across 24 hours of a weekend.
‘We want to give a real, relatively unfiltered, look into what our officers deal with to help keep our community safe,’ he said.
‘Law enforcement work involves a number of elements at the front and centre of the public eye, however there are also teams and individual staff who perform roles critical to the organisation.
‘While we want to use our next #TweetontheBeat to highlight the incidents our operational shifts respond to on a regular basis, we will also be highlighting the wide-ranging work that goes on across the police station, and wider law enforcement functions.’
The social media initiative was first seen locally in December 2015, with a follow-up in December 2017.
Officers will use Twitter and Facebook to show exactly what a day in the life is like at Guernsey Police, with everything and anything that goes on for the three shifts covering the 24-hour period being shared with the community.
As well as providing a live feed of what is going on through social media, the police will also use the occasion to talk about all of the different roles and functions that Guernsey Police and the Guernsey Border Agency provide to the community.
