I have a few questions regarding social media.
1. Do you use social media for alerts, other than AMBER (Missing Child Alert, Silver Alert, etc.)? What platforms? Yes, FB & Twitter
2. Do you allow comments? yes per policy
3. Do you provide a link on social media to the alert? yes
4. Do you have a state requirement to seal records once a missing person has been located? no
5. How do you deal with social media posts once a person has been located? Do you delete posts in consideration of the person’s privacy? I have started deleting images of kids but can’t in Twitter so that is frustrating. Does your agency have any restrictions on deleting posts? give the update located etc. we block the scam video comments
Sorry it’s late!
