Significance for organizations in the security domain
Posted: Mon Feb 17, 2025 9:15 am
A public order and safety officer can provide safety tips, whether solicited or unsolicited.
A crisis management consultant can more easily keep track of developments in his or her field. Think of conferences that he or she cannot attend.
A supervisor (for example a BOA) is better informed about what is going on in society.
A mayor and alderman can be contacted easily and directly.
An event security coordinator can monitor the interest the event generates on Twitter, before and during the event.
A neighborhood coordinator for safety and quality of life can easily ask questions to citizens and receive quick answers.
A fire brigade prevention officer can proactively answer Twitter users with questions about fire alarms.
Twitter is not only functional in contact with citizens, but also with colleagues or partners. It offers the opportunity to exchange knowledge with colleagues and partners. Do you have a question, are you faced with a dilemma: #daretoask . You will see that not only colleagues from other organizations in the security domain answer, but also people from whom you might not expect it: the citizen.
The most important thing is that a civil servant must realize that he directly contributes to a positive or negative image of the organization via Twitter. In addition, it also requires a different role from the communic cameroon phone number list ations department. The role of the counter for press questions shifts more from director to coach. The civil servant determines what is communicated and has more control. In addition, using social media such as Twitter means that managers have to let go of their employees. They have to steer on trust and facilitate and stimulate them where possible.
And last but not least: technical support is needed. In order to use Twitter effectively, you have to use the right tools. The Twitter site is very basic and does not have many options. With (free) applications such as Tweetdeck , Hootsuite and Seesmic, Twitter can be used much more efficiently and effectively. In addition, there are also paid applications. However, organizations are not always aware of the existence of these tools. In addition, Tweetdeck cannot always be installed in town halls or police stations. And for civil servants with a position that requires them to be on the road or on the street frequently, a smartphone is of course an indispensable link.
We hope for Twitterless – and also Twittering – civil servants and their managers in the security domain that this article can help them. And no, we do not think that all civil servants should be required to tweet. But if they can make functional use of it, you will be surprised how many will do so.
