Police Department creates Internet blog
By Staff Reports
5/28/2006



The Tulsa Police Department has started an Internet blog in an effort to communicate with the community.

The Web log, or blog, became available Friday on www.tulsapolice.org. It can also be accessed through www.tpdblog.org, said Capt. Travis Yates.

Police Chief Dave Been will post regularly on the site, and it will be a means for the department to discuss timely issues with the public.

"Chief Dave Been has always recognized the importance of communication to the community. His direct e-mail has been available on our public Web site since he took office, but it was his idea to expand his and the department's communication to the public," Yates said.

"Blogging has become so mainstream, we believe this is a great opportunity for our agency and ultimately the community."

Yates said the Tulsa Police Department is one of the first in the country to offer such a communication tool.

The department will monitor the blog to ensure the content is appropriate for public viewing.

Been has posted a welcome entry on the blog. Events involving police department news, such as the
new centennial badge and a recent charitable bike ride benefiting a police memorial, are among the first topics posted on the site.


I think it is kinda cool we are one of the first in the Country to make use of this..

Way to go Been.....!

One final note.... The Mods on this sight get to pack a gun..
