| Summary: | Media channels play an indisputable role in the credibility and accuracy of information about security risks and deficiencies in the world around us. Social media sites as media channels are also being paid much attention nowadays. These community websites are applied by organisations, institutions and businesses to inform their clients and customers. Law enforcement agencies in England, Finland and Slovakia also use these sites daily and intentionally. The police forces of these countries have been trying to exploit the real values of these social networking
sites, inform and engage citizens on a regular basis. In Hungary there have been several attempts aiming to reach the members of the communities in an easier, simpler and direct channel, and to gain and build trust of residents. It would only be possible if partnership was built between the Police and the locals, but to that end, police units must develop their communication skills and improve their willingness, for which social media offers great potentials. The study deals with proper law enforcement communication as a trust-building strategy and introduces the terms law enforcement digilect and policing digilect. |
