U.K. Police Try Tweeting To Improve Communications [news.bbc.co.uk]
PC Ed Rogerson is like many other beat bobbies. He patrols his patch, fights crime and gives out crime prevention advice. But in one respect he is different to almost every other copper walking a beat.

"Twitter is the new thing," he said. "I'm just trying to keep up and communicate with people in Harrogate."

Some of his messages, or tweets, contain advice for residents. On occasion he announces an arrest. Others are just to let people know that, while they were out, the police were on patrol.

Perhaps if the police stopped wasting time on things like harassing photographers they could actually talk to people?
