MPS CO11 Twitter Policy

Please do not try to report crime using Twitter

The CO11 Met Police Twitter account has been set up to specifically to inform the public of any operational updates relating to the policing of events.

We may occasionally use some automation (such as tools which generate tweets from RSS feeds) but intend that this will not dominate the messages posted.

If you follow us, you can expect tweets covering some or all of the following:

  • Operational updates about the policing of events, relevant to participants
  • Information from emergency services partners relevant to the safety and well being of participants of events.
  • Crime prevention advice or local community information relevant to participants of events.

Following

If you follow us on Twitter we will not automatically follow you back. This is to discourage the use of direct messaging, avoid resource wasting spam handling and so that you can easily identify other key Twitter users we think are relevant to our work and who we will follow. Being followed by us does not imply endorsement of any kind.

Availability

We will update and monitor our Twitter account during periods of operational activity. Twitter may occasionally be unavailable and we accept no responsibility for lack of service due to Twitter downtime.

@Replies and Direct Messages

We welcome feedback and ideas from all our followers. However, we are not always able to reply individually to the messages and comments we receive via Twitter.

We will read @replies and will ensure that any emerging themes or helpful suggestions are passed to the relevant people and responded to where possible.

The usual ways of contacting us for official correspondence are detailed in the contact us section of our website.
