Laws Affecting the Agency. Law enforcement always has been a dangerous
profession because officers risk their lives to form a barrier between criminals and
society. In the past, police could to some extent protect themselves and their loved ones
from threats. Today these risks have changed. The power of the Internet—social media in
particular—has brought danger home to officers and their families. They cannot shield
themselves as easily from the repercussions of their jobs defending the community.
Considerable problems can occur, with the greatest danger being the personal threat to
officers and their families. Because of social media, law enforcement officers are public
figures more so than ever before. Barriers between their professional and personal lives
have been diminished. Police may have no expectations that their homes and families will
be protected from the dangers they face on the job. Motivated individuals could destroy a
law enforcement officer’s sense of security without breaking any laws. With cell phone
Internet access and a police officer’s name, an antagonistic traffic violator could have a
satellite image of the officer’s home displayed on the phone by the time the officer
returns to issue the citation. While this is not a violation of law, it certainly would send an
intimidating message to the officer. (Robert D. Stuart)
To protect their people, agencies can implement internal management
mechanisms to lessen this potential threat. To provide the most effective protection,
departments should designate a social media manager to handle specific core functions.
Ongoing training on current issues, the hazards of social media, and self-protection is
essential. The social media manager must facilitate the elimination of employees’
personal data from social networking sites and guarantee consistency for all personnel.
Most of these websites will remove information if petitioned to do so. Each has its own
