Hey Groton-Facebook and Twitter are not going away!

Having lived most of my life in the town I love-Groton, i have had an average number of interactions with Groton's finest Men and Women in Blue. They  do a great job each and every day! Since Ive worked on a Criminal Justice degree (not yet finshed) Ive gotten a broader perspective on area law enforcement.
One thing that is very obvious is how Waterford and Ledyard have kept up with the times. Both have Facebook and Twitter accounts for their P.D.s .
Both towns have used thier accounts to assist in investigations, give out information and develop great community relationships. It is amazing how both towns have broken through some barriers that have hindered law enforcment in the past.
Younger citizens use technology and do read these accounts. They are much more likely to view their public service providers as the community partners that they are. So please Groton-get with the times...give your officers the tools to improve their services. Give your citizens the ability to be better informed.
