摘要

The Redwood City, Calif., Police Department is interacting with the public through the use of live video chat software from Netop.rnPolice departments around the country are finding proactive ways to engage with the public more with social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. The Redwood City, Calif., Police Department is taking a high-tech step to interact with the public through the use of live video chat software from Netop. Redwood City PD is one of the first municipal government agencies in the U.S. to provide such video interactivity between officers and the community they serve. Residents use this access to receive assistance with questions on police services, how to report traffic accidents and even to report crimes online (although residents are encouraged to still use 9-1-1 for emergencies).
