You can now connect with Tasmania Police on Facebook.

“The Facebook page will complement the existing communication strategies of Police and presents an opportunity for us to provide policing news directly to the community,” said the Commissioner of Police, Darren Hine.

Information will be posted from media releases, as well as news on police campaigns, road safety and other advice, crime trends and more.

“Facebook is also an additional tool for Tasmania Police to deliver critical and timely information directly to the community in emergencies,” said Mr Hine.

“Social media will allow us to highlight good police work and enhance community relationships.  It’s a great way for Police to promote community confidence and inform the community directly from a trusted source.

“We can also use Facebook to seek public assistance when required, for example when someone is reported missing, or in criminal investigations,” said Mr Hine.

“It’s a powerful tool for engagement with the people we serve, and I encourage you to ‘like’ the official Tasmania Police Facebook Page.”
