Saint John Police Force Will Take To Social Media

Saint John's intelligence-led policing model has been hailed as a 21rst-century approach to crime-fighting.

Now, Police Chief Bill Reid tells CHSJ News the force will be stepping up its use of technology to communicate with the public.

Reid says members of the force are being trained on the do's and don't of social media use, and will soon be updating on things like traffic issues as well as dealing with resident's concerns. The Rothesay Regional Police force already has an active Facebook and Twitter presence.
