Police in North Edinburgh are to use Twitter to update residents and link in with local groups and organisations.
Inspector Mark Rennie of Drylaw Police Station said “As from 1 April the Community Policing Teams at Drylaw and Leith Police Stations will be posting ‘tweets’ to highlight activity in the area and provide details of their work. It’s an important development for us as we can reach a fairly large audience quickly, get information out to young people in a way they appreciate, and also provide clear and instantaneous information about ongoing incidents in the area”.
