Faridabad police get greater visibility

Faridabad: While Faridabad police’s social media experiment of sharing crime information in a ‘TRP-driven’ manner may have failed to increase the number of bankable tip-offs, it surely has given them greater visibility. The police had started a 20-day experiment of sharing crime information in a ‘filmy’ manner and claim that it has not only increased followers but also made a large section feel more connected to the police department. The experiment was conducted in June, during which 96 tweets were posted about various crimes and arrests from district police’s official handle @FBDPolice.
