Fair Haven Police to Tweet Some News

Police to have a Twitter account

By Elaine Van Develde

Fair Haven police will soon be tweeting.

The police department, Administrator Theresa Casagrande said at Monday's meeting, will be joining the social media world with a Twitter account. Not Facebook, though. Only Twitter for now.

While the Fair Haven PBA has a Facebook page, the department itself is opting not to for the time being, because "with Twitter comments can be deleted relatively quickly," Casagrande said. "It's a good way to get information out and keep people updated without so much of a worry about comments."

Facebook, Casagrande noted, would require more monitoring and may inadvertently invite unwanted and/or libelous comments that tend to come with police activity.

The account doesn't appear to have been set up just yet. Stay tuned.

Oh, and the department got a new car — a white Dodge charger.
