24 Feb, 12North West Air Support group prepares for the impending NPAS National Police Air Service with a new Twitter account @NWCopter - complete with photo of Greater Manchester Police's MD902, 159 followers, but no tweets yet. We also notice similarly named accounts
- @GMCopter for the Greater Manchester Police- one test tweet 29th July 2011
- @LancsCopter for the Lancashire Police - one test tweet 29th July 2011
- @MerseyCopter for the Merseyside Police- one test tweet 29th July 2011 - but this unit closed in July 2011???
- @CheshireCopter for the Cheshire Police - but no tweets since 28th July 2011 when they said "we're now part of a regional collab with other NW police forces, we're ironing a few issues and will be tweeting again soon"
All in all, this seems to be a confused state of affairs. Twitter is an ideal and simple way for a police air support unit to work with the community by assuring them what their tasks were, particularly to minimise complaints when a law enforcement helicopter needs to hover over a particular area for, say, 30 minutes.
