4.1 Social networking - Recommendations
- Law enforcement should be keenly aware of the disclosure policies of any company they maintain a relationship with. Should such a company adopt a full disclosure policy with regards to data requests in relation to their customers, then law enforcement should fully risk assess the impact of any subsequent approach to that company. It may be that such information can only be obtained post-arrest without jeopardising the investigation.
- All sectors use the Internet and social media to build their reputation and Internet profile. law enforcement should likewise take full advantage of social media platforms to enhance its Internet presence, spread crime prevention messages and engage with the Internet community.
