The Twitter book for Police & Law Enforcement

Available through Amazon

Scratch something off my bucket list… I wrote a book and its been published.  In all fairness, it is best described as an e-book and it won’t win any writing awards or get any New York Times Best Seller accolades, but its something I’ve wanted to do for a long time.

It is a basic guide for police and law enforcement looking at using Twitter which takes you from signing up, signing on and detailing how Twitter works and most of the functionality and language that is unique to Twitter.  If you know nothing about the platform, this will answer your questions. If you are already a Twitter user, you’ll find great information and examples of real agencies showing how they have used the platform.

In reality, this book can also be beneficial to fire services, emergency medical personnel, health care and to an extent government since we all face some of the same issues; legal, ethical, privacy and public service.

I’m really hoping you take the opportunity to download this e-book, because once the book hits 500 downloads, proceeds from its sale will be going to some very special charities.

1.) C.O.P.S. (Concerns of Police Survivors): Concerns of Police Survivors, Inc. provides resources to assist in the rebuilding of the lives of surviving families and affected co-workers of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty as determined by Federal criteria.  Furthermore, C.O.P.S. provides training to law enforcement agencies on survivor victimization issues and educates the public of the need to support the law enforcement profession and its survivors.

2.) C.C.V.F. (Canadian Crime Victim Foundation): The founders of the CCVF are survivors of crime and have encountered a loss and pain that they hope no others will be forced to experience.

Joe and Lozanne Wamback have researched and worked with victims of crime, service providers and justice system personnel, since the assault on their young son Jonathan, to try to understand criminal activity, the victim aftermath, Canadian criminal legislation, our legal system and most importantly, how existing victim services work for victims. Through their own experience and close relationships with many other victims, they have learned that Canadian victim services and victims rights are sporadic and under funded at best, and that the systemic revictimization of Canadian crime victims remains unchecked and unaccountable.

They have learned simply, that Canada does not comply with a United Nations convention on the “Rights of Victims of Crime” In addition, despite the Victims Bills of Rights enacted by all the provinces, victims still have no remedy, nor instrument with which to enforce those rights.

They have learned that Canada stands 29th in a list of 29 countries they have studied, with respect to providing compensation and basic assistance to its victims of crime, and most recently that several Canadian provinces have actually eliminated crime victim compensation. They decided to tackle, and make change to issues that no other organization before them in Canada has. Issues that are as fundamental as basic human rights.

They are determined to provide, not only victim support service guidelines, but to proactively introduce a clear understanding of crime victim psychology into Canadian society and to entrench societal rights for victims of crime.
