GMP are thrown into Twitter Jail for too many Tweets during the first hours of Twitter Day!
For 24 hours from 5.00am this morning, Thursday 14 October, Greater Manchester Police will be publishing details of every incident that it deals with on Twitter to allow the public to see what officers at one of the largest UK forces face on a daily basis.
Chief Constable Peter Fahy wants to show the public the complexities of modern policing, which often aren’t fully appreciated.
This comes as police face unprecedented budget cuts, putting them under even more pressure to deliver an effective policing service.
Chief Constable Fahy said: “Policing is often seen in very simple terms, with cops chasing robbers and locking them up. However the reality is that this accounts for only part of the work they have to deal with.
“A lot of what we do is dealing with social problems such as missing children, people with mental health problems and domestic abuse. Often these incidents can be incredibly complex and need a lot of time, resource and expertise.
“I am not saying that we shouldn’t deal with these types of incidents, far from it, but what I am saying is that this work is not recognised in league tables and measurements – yet is a huge part of what we do.
“I think that it’s time to start measuring performance in a different way. There needs to be more focus on how the public sector as a whole is working together to tackle society’s issues and problems.
“We see time and again the same families, the same areas and the same individuals causing the same problems and these people are causing a considerable drain to the public purse.
“Instead of the public sector organisations having separate pots of money we could spend it more efficiently it were one big pot. This could be achieved by working together more effectively, by joining up and sharing the responsibility of the issues that we are all dealing with.”

Dealing with a car in the Rochdale Canal at Newton Heath.
Greater Manchester Police is showing people what officers and staff face in 24 hours by providing the most extensive behind the scenes access in its history.
From 5am on Tuesday 14 October for 24 hours the Force will be tweeting all the calls it receives as well as providing an insight into some of the most challenging work. It takes place exactly four years after the very first GMP Twitter Day.
The 24 hours will see:
•Details of all 3,000+ calls being tweeted as they happen
•The GMP Facebook account will be ‘taken over’ by officers providing details of how cases are investigated
•Video updates from officers working in complex areas such as public protection and negotiators
•Two community reporters will provide updates from custody and a response patrol
•Updates throughout the day from the 101 local police Twitter and Facebook accounts
Chief Constable Sir Peter Fahy said: “Since we held our first Twitter day in 2010 the force has shrunk by 1,400 officers and it has become more of a challenge to maintain the service to the public.
“Four years ago, people were surprised by the range of incidents we have to deal with and these have not changed. More of our work is about protecting vulnerable people, targeting those who abuse them and dealing with the consequences of entrenched social problems.
“We have a tremendous workforce that every day shows great dedication, patience and compassion. Our staff have great concern about the consequences of further reductions that we will face over coming years. We will need greater support from the public and continued changes to the way we work to get through this.”
Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Jim Battle: “Twitter day gives the public an insight into a typical busy day for Greater Manchester Police. I’m sure the public will be surprised with the number of calls, the range of complex issues police deal with daily and how effective police officers are in protecting the public and our communities.
“Giving the public an insight into a day in the life of GMP will strengthen their support for officers and staff, who do extraordinary work in difficult circumstances. It also reinforces the case to government that investment in policing is essential and cutting police budgets is reckless.”
To follow what happens during the 24 hours people should check out the Twitter accounts @gmpday14_1, @gmpday14_2, @gmpday14_3 and @gmpday14_4 that will be used for the calls.

The Greater Manchester Police’s innovative use of social media has been recognised at a national level.
The Force’s Corporate Communications Branch picked up two awards last night (Thursday 19 October) at the Some Comms Awards. The awards celebrate the best in social media across the UK and recognise individuals and organisations for their use of online communications.
The Force picked up the award for ‘Best Use of Social Media in a Crisis’ for its work during last year’s disorder in Manchester and Salford riots along with the ‘Best In-House Team’ award for the branch’s work during the entire year.
The Force won the Some Comms Award for ‘Best Use of Twitter’ in 2011 for the GMP24 event in which the Force tweeted details about every incident it dealt with in a 24-hour period.
Amanda Coleman, Head of Corporate Communications said: “These awards recognise the Force’s hard work and efforts in developing its use of social media.
“It is fantastic to win for a second year and to take the award for best in-house team.”

“A lot of what we do is dealing with social problems such as missing children, people with mental health problems and domestic abuse. Often these incidents can be incredibly complex and need a lot of time, resource and expertise.
“I am not saying that we shouldn’t deal with these types of incidents, far from it, but what I am saying is that this work is not recognised in league tables and measurements – yet is a huge part of what we do.
“I think that it’s time to start measuring performance in a different way. There needs to be more focus on how the public sector as a whole is working together to tackle society’s issues and problems.
“We see time and again the same families, the same areas and the same individuals causing the same problems and these people are causing a considerable drain to the public purse.
“Instead of the public sector organisations having separate pots of money we could spend it more efficiently it were one big pot. This could be achieved by working together more effectively, by joining up and sharing the responsibility of the issues that we are all dealing with.”

Sir Peter Fahy and Jim Battle, Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner launch Twitter Day 2014
Greater Manchester Police is showing people what officers and staff face in 24 hours by providing the most extensive behind the scenes access in its history.
From 5am on Tuesday 14 October for 24 hours the Force will be tweeting all the calls it receives as well as providing an insight into some of the most challenging work. It takes place exactly four years after the very first GMP Twitter Day.
The 24 hours will see:
•Details of all 3,000+ calls being tweeted as they happen
•The GMP Facebook account will be ‘taken over’ by officers providing details of how cases are investigated
•Video updates from officers working in complex areas such as public protection and negotiators
•Two community reporters will provide updates from custody and a response patrol
•Updates throughout the day from the 101 local police Twitter and Facebook accounts
Chief Constable Sir Peter Fahy said: “Since we held our first Twitter day in 2010 the force has shrunk by 1,400 officers and it has become more of a challenge to maintain the service to the public.
“Four years ago, people were surprised by the range of incidents we have to deal with and these have not changed. More of our work is about protecting vulnerable people, targeting those who abuse them and dealing with the consequences of entrenched social problems.
“We have a tremendous workforce that every day shows great dedication, patience and compassion. Our staff have great concern about the consequences of further reductions that we will face over coming years. We will need greater support from the public and continued changes to the way we work to get through this.”
Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Jim Battle: “Twitter day gives the public an insight into a typical busy day for Greater Manchester Police. I’m sure the public will be surprised with the number of calls, the range of complex issues police deal with daily and how effective police officers are in protecting the public and our communities.
“Giving the public an insight into a day in the life of GMP will strengthen their support for officers and staff, who do extraordinary work in difficult circumstances. It also reinforces the case to government that investment in policing is essential and cutting police budgets is reckless.”
To follow what happens during the 24 hours people should check out the Twitter accounts @gmpday14_1, @gmpday14_2, @gmpday14_3 and @gmpday14_4 that will be used for the calls. Further details will be circulated on the force main Twitter account @gmpolice and Facebook GtrManchesterPolice, and if you are not on social media you can find it on the website www.gmp.police.uk

“A lot of what we do is dealing with social problems such as missing children, people with mental health problems and domestic abuse. Often these incidents can be incredibly complex and need a lot of time, resource and expertise.
“I am not saying that we shouldn’t deal with these types of incidents, far from it, but what I am saying is that this work is not recognised in league tables and measurements – yet is a huge part of what we do.
“I think that it’s time to start measuring performance in a different way. There needs to be more focus on how the public sector as a whole is working together to tackle society’s issues and problems.
“We see time and again the same families, the same areas and the same individuals causing the same problems and these people are causing a considerable drain to the public purse.
“Instead of the public sector organisations having separate pots of money we could spend it more efficiently it were one big pot. This could be achieved by working together more effectively, by joining up and sharing the responsibility of the issues that we are all dealing with.”
