UPDATE FROM THE STANISLAUS COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE Protecting our communities by building trust, reducing crime, and promoting safety through enforcement, prevention, and education is more important than ever. So much of our social interaction today is happening online, and while we at the Sheriff’s Office will always be rooted in serving the community in real life, we also realize this world is ever changing and part of our duty is to understand that change. In our office, that change is the creative use of social media. We are working to strengthen the relationship with our community in the digital space. Not only to provide updates about the efforts of our department, but to also give a well-rounded snapshot of the work we do every day. By engaging with our community online we are learning about what their concerns are, what misconceptions exist, and how we can be better in our work as a law enforcement agency. When we give residents the information they need to stay safe or explain how to access the necessary resources through social media platforms, we are creating an accessible digital footprint that can be saved, downloaded, and shared at any time.
COMMUNITY
The range of ages that access the different social media apps on a daily basis, vary from 13 to 70 and with more users than ever, we are able to disseminate a p p r o p r i a t e information that can be life changing or lifesaving. Public safety is our top priority but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun with it too. Social media gives us the opportunity to be creative in a way that never existed for law enforcement before.
