The N.C. Department of Crime Control and Public Safety has launched a new tool to communicate with the public.
They've jumped on the Facebook wagon.
An e-mail I received this morning indicates they will post news releases and other information on the site. So far, there are a variety of posts on the page detailing what the division does.
It's an interesting initiative and makes me wonder if we'll see some of the local authorities link into the social media networks.
