The sheriff's office
recently created a Facebook page to put out information such as pictures of
people wanted in connection with crimes, missing child alerts, and simple tips
to help keep you safe. "It acts as a packet of
information to put out to the public," said Captain Antonio Gonzalez.
The sheriff's office is
also trying to get followers for their Twitter account and they say you can
help fight crime in a 140 characters or less."When they see stuff or
we put stuff out on twitter and they have information to report they can always
respond back to us and it will help fight crime more quickly," explained
Gonzalez.
The sheriff's office
said many of its cases come to a close because of help from the community and
they feel sure increasing their social media presence will add to the number of
tips they receive.
"We are trying to keep
up with the times so it can be a tool that helps us deal with the job that we
do, the investigations and quick response to these investigations to make quick
apprehensions," said Gonzalez.
