Dyfed Powys Police and the Use of Social Media

We encourage people to follow us and we will post
information we deem to be interesting, relevant and of use to people living in
the Dyfed Powys Police area.

We will include:

• New
  content and information relating to services, initiatives, meetings,
  events and campaigns
• An
  RSS feed from our press releases that are published on our website;
• Retweets/links
  from other public sector / community organisations and individuals that
  are relevant to Dyfed Powys;
• Links
  to relevant online media coverage;
• We
  will also publish information and links that are relevant to our work and
  the services we provide as well as ask questions to gauge public opinion
  on a range of formal and informal topics.
• Some
  of the content will be produced in house and other content will be
  developed by external companies.
• We
  reserve the right to delete any information from our wall/profile/twitter
  feed that we feel is inappropriate for a public site.

Following/Friends

If you follow us on Twitter or become our friend on Facebook
we will not automatically follow you back. This is to discourage the use of
direct messaging, avoid resource-wasting spam-handling and so that you can
easily identify other key Twitter/Facebook users we think are relevant to our
work from who we follow. Being followed by us does not imply endorsement of any
kind.

Availability

We will update and monitor our Twitter and Facebook accounts
as often as we can. The sites may occasionally be unavailable and we accept no
responsibility for lack of service due to their downtime.

@Replies, Direct Messages and Wall Posts

We welcome feedback and ideas from all our followers.
However, we are not always able to reply individually to the messages we
receive via the sites.

The Citizen Focus team read all @replies and Direct Messages
and ensures that any emerging themes or helpful suggestions are passed to the
relevant people.

The usual ways of contacting us for official correspondence
are detailed in the contact us section of our website.

Please don’t rely on contacting us through social media in
an emergency. In an emergency always ring 999 or 101 if it’s less urgent.

Please note our Police Officers do not have individual
profiles on Facebook. The only official force profile is Dafydd Paws.
