Police departments keeping public informed on Twitter

Police departments keeping public informed on Twitter... How could we harness this technology to provide better analysis and information sharing?

  1. Even better than that, try realtime posting of incidents: http://twitter.com/CMPD
    Although those bots have no official affiliation with the CMPD.

  3. Thats very cool, I think this may have changed my opinion on Twitter, which I considered pretty useless up to this point.

  4. Whoa, this is really cool. Doing this type of real-time calls for service goes way beyond what I have seen other agencies do. I can see that this would be of high interest to off-duty cops and other law enforcement enthusiasts, but I would like to know what kind of a response you get from the general public. I'm very interested to see where this type of technology and forward thinking takes law enforcement int he near future.
