megilleland Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 One high-ranking West Mercia officer, shown to be an inspector or above, was disciplined for discussing information about a police investigation with friends online. They will have to add inappropriate use of social networking sites to the following: Misconduct Outcomes Apr 2014 to June 2014 Misconduct Outcomes Dec 2013 to March 2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megilleland Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Also came across this news item "Police defy force with Masonic lodge" reported in The Independent in 2000. Note it is openly promoting itself today here. Not sure whether this would be classed as a social networking site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crime is now day to day street stuff and also net stuff ... Have they got enough office space to investigate the internet locally? You got to be in the office all day to do that! I suppose you can throw out a pointless CSO to go to a meaningless meeting to paper over some cracks .... but struggling I think ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
