Mediaboss Marketing

THIRTEEN police officers employed by the force covering Herefordshire have been investigated for their inappropriate use of social media.

One high ranking officer faced a grilling from bosses at West Mercia Police after disclosing information about work on a social networking site.

A police constable was given a written warning for accessing "inappropriate content" on a similar site, while a fellow constable was caught on a dating website.

Seven civilian staff members at West Mercia also faced action following breaches relating to the use of social media.

None of the 20 members of staff were dismissed for their actions.

The figures cover the period from January 2009 to February 2014 and were obtained following a Freedom of Information (FOI) request by the Press Association.

West Mercia said in a statement its employees "are accountable for whatever they put into the public domain", and must not post anything likely to discredit the force, even from a private account.

"Social media has revolutionised the way people communicate and share information and provides both forces (West Mercia and its partner Warwickshire) with new and innovative ways of engaging with and involving people in policing," said the statement.

"To enable our workforce to effectively use social media both forces have a Social Media Communications Policy and set of guidelines which inform our officers, staff and volunteers how to use social media in both a personal and professional capacity.

"The basic principle is that all officers, staff and volunteers are accountable for whatever they put into the public domain, even in a privately held account and must not behave in a way which is likely to discredit their police force.

The cyber crime cell of Goa police has summoned the 33-year-old engineer, who allegedly posted comments on social networking site Facebook against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, for questioning on June 2.

Devu Chodankar would be asked to appear before police for questioning on Monday (June 2), Superintendent of police (Cyber Crime) Kartik Kashyap told PTI in Panaji on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Mr. Chodankars lawyer Jatin Naik said they will not apply for anticipatory bail in a higher court now and would face police investigation on June 1. We will wait and watch. Mr. Devu will not apply for the anticipatory bail in the High Court, Mr. Naik said.

We had planned to go to the High Court but decided to keep the plan on hold, he added.

Mr. Chodankars anticipatory bail was rejected by a local court last week after the cyber crime cell told the judiciary that they wanted custodial interrogation of the accused. The engineers father had told police that Mr. Chodankar was out of the state and would require 15 days time to appear before them.

Goa-based businessman Atul Pai Kane had recently lodged a complaint in connection with Mr. Chodankars Facebook post with the cyber crime cell. The cell had moved the court here seeking custodial interrogation of Mr. Chodankar claiming that his FB post was a larger gameplan to promote communal and social disharmony in the state. Subsequently, his anticipatory bail was rejected by a local court.

Police had filed an FIR under section 153(A), 295(A) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), besides section 125 of the Representation of People Act and section 66-A of the Information Technology Act. Some of these sections are non-bailable.

Goa DGP T. Mohan had on Monday assured a delegation of activists in Panaji that complete fairness would be observed while probing the case against Mr. Chodankar, who made some anti-Modi remarks on the social networking site on March 23 when the Lok Sabha was on. However, the comments were deleted later.
