• Find local sites & subscribe• ask around or try www.groupsnearyou.com
• Engage with people on local sites• e.g. comment on them, email the site owner, send them stuff
• Don’t be too stiff – like a cup of tea not formal dinner
• Expect to receive as well as broadcast
• At least treat as any other bulletin board, leaflet drop or outlet
• If you have high rank – give blanket permission
• Expect some things to go wrong but more go right
Top tips for police and local sites
