Every Wednesday night police and community members gather around the Twitter and talk. They talk about issues of the day, interests, breaking down barriers and discuss ways of bringing the best out of each other.
As Sir Robert Peel said, “The people are the police and the police are the people.”
#CopChat is an opportunity for the police and the public to truly embrace that ideal in a non-confrontational open discussion that sees bonds become established and friendships made in the ultimate goal of a more informed public and a more understanding police audience.
One question I have often been asked is if I could do #CopChat at differing times to gather more of the communities together. It’s a tough one because people like a set time and knowing the consistency of the schedule, but when the people are asking for something, then I believe that if it’s at all possible, then we can deliver it.
So, say hello to #CopChatWC – an opportunity for the West Coast police and communities to jump into the conversation. Tonight’s inaugural #CopChatWC will be co-hosted by the Azusa Police Department’s own Officer Mike Bires. @AZPDSocialMedia
For our West Coast Family
Two #CopChat communities happening to address the beauty of time zones. Kids in bed, commute all done and a chance to get to know each other.
#CopChat is and always will be about opening the lines of communication and what a great place to do it…on Twitter.
Let your friend’s know it’s happening…
I’m hoping that you’ll join us if you are in the Central, Mountain and Pacific Time Zones…and hey, maybe even Hawaii can get in on the action.
See you tonight at 9pm Eastern and again at 9pm Pacific!
New to #CopChat? Here is how it works.
