The St. Paul Police Department is taking community policing efforts to the Internet. A new Facebook page allows citizens to become "fans" of the police department. They can leave comments, and learn about what the officers are up to.
On Monday, one posting invited the public to see the department's K9 demonstrations during the upcoming Taste of Minnesota festival. Another posting tells people where to report a problem or concern.
Another posting promotes safe Internet use for children and adults, and points users to a link for more information.
Police spokesman Paul Schnell says people are connecting on Facebook, so it makes sense for the police department to do the same.
