Social media 'at least half' of calls passed to front-line police
24 June 2014
Complaints originating from social media make up "at least half" of calls passed on to front-line officers, a senior officer has told the BBC.
Chief Constable Alex Marshall, head of the College of Policing, said the number of crimes arising from social media represented "a real problem".
He said it was a particular problem for officers who deal with low-level crimes.
