MetPoliceEvents Twitter Policy
Please do not try to report crime using Twitter
The MetPoliceEvents Twitter account (formerly@CO11MetPolice) has been set up 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.
@Replies and Direct Messages

If you wish to contact the MPS please visit your local police station or use one of the methods detailed in the contact us section of this website.
To report crime, please call 101. In an emergency, always call 999. Some
types of crime can be reported on our website: https://online.met.police.uk/
This allows us to ensure your inquiry is directed to the appropriate
person or department, dealt as quickly as possible and using the appropriate
levels of confidentiality and record keeping.
We welcome feedback and ideas from all our followers and although we
are not able to reply individually to the messages and comments we receive
via Twitter we will try to read @replies.
We cannot guarantee that we will be able to read everything marked for
our attention but we will try to ensure that any emerging themes or helpful
suggestions are passed to the relevant people and responded to where
possible.
You are also reminded that malicious communications using Twitter may
constitute a criminal offence and will be dealt with appropriately.
Use of Images
Images posted by @MetPoliceUK may be re-used, provided it is for a non-commercial

Availability
We will update and monitor our Twitter as necessary. Twitter may occasionally
be unavailable and we accept no responsibility for lack of service due
to Twitter downtime.
