Our Twitter policy
Following/Friends
If you follow us on Twitter or become our friend on Facebook we
will not automatically follow you
back. This is to discourage the use of direct messaging.
Being followed by us does not imply endorsement of any kind.
Hashtags (#)
We will occasionally use hashtags (#) in our tweets. Using
hashtags enables tweets on a specific subject to be found by simply
searching for their common hashtag. We use hashtags such as
#caughtoncamera when we have an appeal for information which has
CCTV footage of a suspect, this hashtag is also used by other
police forces and means that CCTV appeals are grouped together.
We are not responsible for the hashtag or tweets from other
users who use the hashtag. We do not endorse other
users who use the hashtag and we are not responsible for the
content that they write.
Availability
We will update and monitor our Twitter account as often as we
can. The site may occasionally be unavailable and we accept no
responsibility for lack of service due to their downtime.
