THE Public Relations Department of the Guyana Police Force is in the process of adding content to an already existing Facebook Page which was established two Mondays ago.

Members of the public for some time now have been on social media sites suggesting that the Force open a Facebook Page which has the potential for rapid and real-time information and photograph sharing by members of the public with the police.
During an invited comment last week, acting Commissioner of Police Seelall Persaud when asked about the possibility of the establishment of a Facebook Page, dropped the bombshell by informing that the Force had already done so.
He said, however, that based on his latest information the page was still being developed by the Public Relations Department and when the developmental stage has been completed the police will officially make the announcement.
A visit to the page by this reporter yesterday revealed that the page had 18 likes and featured several photographs relating to police activities, security tips and other information the police thought necessary to share with members of the public.
It was also pointed out that the social media site will also see the police sharing press releases which are generally disseminated to members of the media and media entities.
Commissioner Persaud said that the page will be a democratic one which would allow for the posting of comments. Persons can also tag the Guyana Police Force photographs which may be of interest to the Force.
It is not clear how the Force would treat with persons using profanities and other offensive language when posting and or commenting on contents of the Facebook page.
Persons desirous of visiting the Guyana Police Facebook Page and being part of the conversations and other activities can like the page at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Guyana-Police-Force/1445290725751086 or at “Guyana Police Force” in the Facebook search engine.
Meanwhile, a date for the official launching of the Facebook Page is yet to be announced.
