Great Manchester Police Tweets

So much has happened since my last post.

My university work load has intensified and forced my social life and blogging to take a backseat. I am glad to say now that I am finally on top of my work and organised enough to blog, socialise and of course work.

In the outside world, Greater Manchester Police have set up a Twitter page where they tweet every 999 call they receive. The idea has been receiving mixed reviews. Some feel that it is a great idea that the misuse of the emergency number is being highlighted but others think the idea is a waste of time. With posts such as "Call 285 A 17-y the tear-old boy has gone missing from a house in Cheetham Hill, Manchester #gmp24" I feel that it is a good source of finding out what is going on from an official source.

  1. It will only prove its worth if it results in a reduction of misuse of 999 number and a corresponding waste of police time, especially in light of the savings / cuts being msade currently
