Steve Harris sent me this email concerning social media and the impact of this growing area of concern:
I am excited to share that the IACP, in partnership with the Defense Personnel Security Research Center (PERSEREC), has released Developing a Cybervetting Strategy for Law Enforcement, a guide to help chief executives navigate the complicated world of vetting and personnel management in the social media age. The guide is available on the IACP’s Center for Social Media Web site at www.IACPsocialmedia.org (direct link http://www.iacpsocialmedia.org/Portals/1/documents/CybervettingReport.pdf). A number of IACP committees and sections were actively involved in the development of the guide, including the PSLC.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
