Ripon Police on Twitter

Many of you will be familiar with Twitter, and many of you will have a Twitter account to keep in touch with friends, family, work colleagues and people with similar interests. Now you can keep up to date with Ripon Police by following @riponpolice or visiting their Twitter Page.

The Twitter account for Ripon Police has been going for the last month and they have been publishing information about general road safety, warnings to motorists jumping the lights at Low Skellgate, latest reports on burglaries, and calls for information to help catch and charge offenders. This is a valuable insight into what goes on in Ripon and gives the public the opportunity to get in touch and to find out more about local policing.

It’s great to see that the police are making an attempt to connect with a much wider audience who no longer read newspapers, but are much more likely to stay connected by the web, especially using the social media channels. So if you want to find out what your local police force is up to then head over to Twitter and follow @riponpolice.
