Abstract
Information and communication technologies have changed the way we communicate over the past decade.
Social media plays an important role for the provision of security - for police agencies as much as for citizens. The same is true for post conflict societies.
Community-oriented policing in post-conflict settings can benefit from these developments. But new technologies are no magic bullet. Traditional forms of interaction remain important for the effective policing of
communities.
This brief gives a number of examples of how social media is used by police agencies around the world. It
examines the question of how these tools can be best implemented in the policing of post-conflict settings.
