Camden Borough Twitter Policy

Please do not try to report crime using Twitter

Borough Twitter accounts have been set up to inform the public of Metropolitan Police related news, events, online facilities and major incidents that relate to their borough.

If you follow us, you can expect tweets covering some or all of the following:

• Operational updates about the policing of events.
• News about how the MPS is policing your borough, major criminal investigations and prosecutions.
• Appeals for information and assistance from the public relating to your borough.
• Crime prevention advice or local community information relevant to participants of events in your chosen area.
• Occasional advice about protecting yourself from crime.
• News about online facilities from the MPS website and other policing related sources.
• Comment on media stories relating to your borough.
• Information from emergency services partners relevant to the safety and well being of Londoners and visitors to the capital.

Following

If you follow us on Twitter we will not automatically follow you back. This is to discourage the use of direct messaging and so that you can easily identify other key Twitter users we think are relevant to our work and who we will follow. Being followed by us does not imply endorsement of any kind.

@Replies and Contacting the MPS

We are unable to monitor Twitter round the clock. However we will endeavor to answer all sensible tweeted questions. Please be aware that due to privacy and the sensitive nature of our work it may not be possible to answer all tweet questions.

If you wish to contact the MPS please visit your local police station or use one of the methods detailed in the contact us section of this website.

Please do not try to report crime using Twitter.

We welcome feedback and ideas from all our followers

We cannot guarantee that we will be able to read everything marked for our attention but we will try to ensure that any emerging themes or helpful suggestions are passed to the relevant people and responded to where possible.

You are also reminded that malicious communications using Twitter may constitute a criminal offence and will be dealt with appropriately.

Availability

We will update and monitor our Twitter as necessary. Twitter may occasionally be unavailable and we accept no responsibility for lack of service due to Twitter downtime.
