Web 2.0, Social Networking and Your Agency

Description

Budget-squeezed and resource-starved agencies worldwide are using Web 2.0 and social networking to lower costs, increase services and streamline internal operations. Why not your agency? This 30 minute overview will get you started.

Objectives

You've heard a lot about it. You've even heard that law enforcement and public safety agencies are putting it to good use. You are also thinking about using it. But what, exactly, is it and how can law enforcement and public safety get the best value from it? The "it" to which we are referring is Web 2.0, social networking and related technologies and services that can be used creatively, and often for free, by law enforcement and public safety agencies just as it is by other government entities, enterprises and individual citizens. Join Publlic Safety Communications Manager Al Blencoe and his guest Paul Wormeli, Executive Director of IJIS Institute for this informative 30 minute discussion which will cover topics such as Web 2.0 technologies that are of practical interest to agencies, how to create new applications easily and inexpensively using something called mash-ups that even the Chief might be able to do and how to secure internal web logs (blogs) and collaborative, quick and searchable databases and knowledge stores (wikis) and video communications systems such as YouTube and FaceBook. Paul will also touch on some related areas such as funding for these types of initiatives and security and privacy policy.
While a lot of the focus on these technologies is on how criminals can use them for identity theft, cyber-stalking, wire fraud, terrorist communications and logistics, child pornography and similar criminal enterprises this session will explain how your agency can benefit and give you some good, solid, law enforcement and public safety specific reasons to get started today with a new program or in enhancing an existing program.
