Nagpaalala ang Philippine National Police (PNP) sa lahat ng pulis at non-uniformed personnel ukol sa cyber etiquette sa paggamit ng social media.
“In accordance to PNP policy on Social Networking Sites, all personnel must observe proper decorum in all public engagements including social media platforms, chatgroups and private sites,” nakasaad sa inilabas na pahayag ng PNP.
Hinikayat ni PNP Chief General Archie Gamboa ang mga PNP personnel na gamitin ang social media bilang paraan para magkaroon ng “pro-active information and awareness activities.”
Maliban dito, makakatulong din aniya ito para magkaroon ng maayos na relasyon ang pulisya sa mga komunidad sa panahon ng krisis.
“Social media is an excellent public information and collaboration internet tool as we are facing crisis today, operating within PNP regulations and established policies can mean a successful social media campaign, public relation and also police operations,” ani Gamboa.
“All comments and opinions of individual personnel, associations and sectoral groups on matters that are not related to the organization’s activities are hereby disowned by the PNP as unofficial and unauthorized,” batay pa sa pahayag ng PNP.
