Social Media and Municipal Police Departments: Current Use and Future Prospects

As public officials and scholars alike concern themselves with declines in civic engagement and a  weakening of the public sphere, new technologies– in particular social media– have arisen. Some see these new technologies as providing opportunities for and forums within which enhanced government-citizen interaction and even collaboration.  I investigate this prospect by looking at social media use among municipal police departments.  I ask: Which social media platforms do police departments use? Do police departments use them for information and announcements or for interaction? Where interaction is taking place, is it transactional or collaborative.
I, accompanied by 2nd year Honors student and Research Assistant Andrew Beauregard, will discuss the results of a pilot study of 10 police departments and results to date of a larger study of 25 police departments.  Andrew will discuss his experience collecting and working with data.

We Like You… Why Not "Like" Us?

It only took developers five weeks to create Farmville… think of all the time that the 80 million people who play Farmville spend playing it. Makes you feel productive, huh?

We may not play Mafia Wars with you or help you build a fence in Farmville, but we do have facebook timeline!  If you “Like” us on Facebook we’ll be able to see all of the cool things you’re doing – and you’ll be able to see cool UHP-related news, opportunities, free food events, and photos! We also have been known to “like” what you’re up to as well. But not in a weird creepy stalker way…

Halloween + Facebook + The UHP = ?


Now is the time to start planning (or calling dibs on) your Halloween costume to be sure that nobody else will copy you! Whether you prefer super scary costumes, “sexy” themed outfits – like witches, nurses, or a certain North Korean dictator – or funny and ironic costumes… we want to see them on Facebook! The UHP Facebook page is a great way to socialize with your fellow UHP community members. Share stories, post pictures, and read about the latest UHP news. Followers can even look back at our past seasonal parties! So if you haven’t done it already, make sure to follow us on Facebook.
