PIO Social Media Training

Is it OK to have fun with Social Media?

Posted by at 24 December, 2009, 7:00 am

Officers from the Kenosha Wisconsin police department have put their own twist on the 12 days of Christmas song in this YouTube video. I think it is OK for emergency response agencies to occasionally have fun with social media tools. Positive and fun interactions with your community can be really important for building relationships.

What do you think of this video? Is it appropriate? Is it useful to accomplishing the department’s mission?

Yes! Enjoy yourselves on the job and show that you are human, too. We all have a professional job to do. And, I don't think we would be there if we didn't have some enjoyment in doing it. Kenosha PD has just shown that they enjoy what they do in spite of the occasional downfalls on the job. Why NOT share a bit of holiday cheer?
