  2. What’s this “crime plan” all about?
  3. What’s different about downtown crime that makes it so hard to fight?

  5. Social media and the police force — with @HeyJTurner on his post at http://winnipegcrime.wordpress.com: “The WPS tacitly acknowledges that Twitter and Facebook can be leveraged to great gain. However, the service plans to spend 2012 determining “our current and future opportunities” and not move towards integration of social media into their PIO strategy until 2013 at least. IMO: Way too late. Wayyy too late. Next year, policy guidelines for use of social media by officers and civilians in the WPS will be drawn up.”
