In this writing is a good review of the ‘how and why’ that a Social Media Policy is written. What is not here is the actual written Social Media policy as required in the instructions (-7). Also absent is the documentation of an interview as required (-5). A single individual public safety professional will be fine at the Sergeant (supervisor) level of any criminal justice organization. The challenge below may be of assistance to you.

Instructional and/or APA Items – Page 2 was to begin as a memorandum (-2). [See Zero Week Announcements for a simple example].

Here is my challenge and requesting you to determine if you truly believe you have your policy where it really needs to be to become the final product for this project for Week # 8.  Please Google the Lexington/ Urban County Government, KY Police Department’s case where three officers were charged with violation of policy as it related to the personal posting & bragging on their own computer equipment and personal My Space (Facebook of its time) account about their arrest of John Michael Montgomery (country music singer) a number of years ago.  There was a hearing, an appeal, a court case, etc. Want you to ensure that your policy is ‘tight’ and specific enough to keep you as the Human Resource Director, CEO, Supervisor, etc. from losing your job for having a Social Media Policy that has too many ‘holes’ in it and thus not effective. Nothing will cause more political turmoil than an employee, officer, etc. ‘mouthing’ on a social media account that stirs up a community as it has even cost elected officials their positions in not controlling the fall-out of such highly charged items.
