If the police do not have an official social media presence, unauthorised channels will spring up in their place, the report says. Police forces with strong social media presences have better relationships with the citizens they are policing, researchers claim. Their study involved several European countries. They found that in countries where the police social media presence was less strong, “unofficial” pages were popular. One Facebook page containing news about the police in Berlin had 15,000 members, the report said. The research project is part of the work of a group called Composite (Comparative Police Studies In The EU).
