Question for officers:

What is the dominant thing in your minds when you arrive at a job, after the personal safety of yourselves and the public?

If other, please comment below...

Child Protection is fundamental to what @LancsPolice do says @LancsPCC and pledges to get it right.

10. Particular concerns centre on how some accounts are alleged to 'talk down' policing, that internal disputes are played out in public (incl public attacks on individual account holders), & that hostility, defensiveness & tone can be to the detriment of the police reputation.

@WecopsCaroline @gmhales Thanks @WecopsCaroline luckily I’m tough skinned enough to take it for the the thousands that don’t share the prevailing views 👍🏻

[Caroline @WecopsCaroline]

@DrEricHalford @gmhales Yes glad it wasn’t me that had to write all those tweets! Articulated it very well.

Eric, I’m sorry for the personal abuse you’ve endured whilst questioning anon accounts (which I don’t have the energy to enter!!) onwards and upwards and huge congrats on completing the PHD 👌

[Gavin Hales @gmhales]

There has been an interesting debate occuring re #PoliceTwitter over the past week or so.

I have some reflections below.

19. Finally, for me the bottom line, more often than not, is one of *tone* rather than substance.

Expressions of hostility, distrust and personal attacks undermine important substance that can be aired in other less alienating and equally or indeed more impactive ways.

16. Second, that said I do think some anonymous and retired police Twitter users pose real risks to the reputation and public perception of policing, just as others who claim to speak for communities can damage engagement and trust the other way.

[Gavin Hales @gmhales]

12. An important question mark relates to public (& police) perceptions of some anon and retired #PoliceTwitter account holders, some of whom are particularly forthright in their views and 'robust' in challenging others both within and outwith policing.

[Gavin Hales @gmhales]

11. What is often framed as 'robust challenge' of others can be aggressive in tone, compounded by 'pile-ons' when other users join debates with similar demands or accusations in significant numbers. Accounts have been silenced by such behaviour. #PoliceTwitter

@BassetLad @obbsie You’ll have to ask the poster? All I did was like it, the social networking equivalent of chuckling at banter #overreaction

Looking forward to meeting these officers at their attestation on Sunday, hope you gave them a good South Divisional welcome Stephen! 👍🏼 https://t.co/COG3sldGcJ

@MrsFirey I didn’t tweet that at all actually. #factcheck

[Just Eric @anonblocker]

@PrivateRyan999 @InspRtd @west_response @InspGadgetBlogs Lol, you clearly went to a lot of trouble with that pal. Could’ve at least made the lines straight - I hate shoddy craftsmanship even more than being called a nob - also, which is it, knob or nob? Or do they possess the same meaning ?

[Just Eric @anonblocker]

@DonnaDlm71 @tinkerbell0672 @SLserenada @InspGadgetBlogs For accuracy sake, before I retire for the evening, I never suggested frontline PCs shouldn’t have a personal account, like your tweet said, in fact I encourage it, I suggested they shouldn’t have overtly anonymous ones. #factcheck

[Just Eric @anonblocker]

@SLserenada @Peter_Kirkham @DonnaDlm71 @InspGadgetBlogs I work in a good one so being unable to speak my mind is kind of Alien to me 💁🏼‍♂️
