The Oak Park Police Department is expanding its channels for communicating with the public with a new presence on Facebook and Twitter. Residents can now receive regular updates related to public safety in Oak Park on Facebook at www.facebook.com/voppolice and on Twitter at www.twitter.com/voppolice (@VOPpolice). Followers can expect to see police activity reports on a regular basis, including summaries of crimes and arrests for specific dates that often are the basis for stories by local news organizations. When significant incidents occur, the Police Facebook and Twitter accounts will be used to provide details once verifiable information has been gathered, such as descriptions of suspects and any additional updates that develop as investigations continue. Important safety tips, information about various Police programs and behind-the-scenes access to the Department and its personnel also will be a part of the content shared on Facebook and Twitter. While officials hope the Police Department’s social media presence helps improve engagement with the community, they stress that the Facebook and Twitter accounts are not for reporting crimes or suspicious activity. In the event of an emergency, residents should always call 911. Resources may not allow the Police Department’s Facebook and Twitter accounts to be monitored 24/7, but staff will respond to inquiries as time allows. Officials also stress that the social media platforms will not be used to provide real-time, minute-by-minute details about police activity.
