Internet-savvy Capt. Kenneth Corey
In fact, the Daily News reports that other Brooklyn precinct commanders have asked Capt. Corey to help them merge onto the "information superhighway." What's next, an NYPD Geocities site?! In fairness, the NYPD has been using Twitter since last year, and today they want to remind you that "with pre-election demos, the Halloween parade and the NYC Marathon, the NYPD will be working to keep people moving and safe thru the wkend."
Recipients of Capt. Corey's e-mail blast include local bloggers like Pardon Me for Asking and The Word on Columbia Street. And the content goes beyond crime reports to inform residents about other news, like his haiku-like announcement that over the summer "at approximately 4:40 this afternoon, a large tree branch fell...inside Carroll Park."

That tweet ranks high on unintentional comedy scale, basically saying that the NYPD will be working this weekend.
Next thing you know, they'll be setting up paypal accounts to accept their bribes.
I'm all for anything that makes life easier for all of us...
I hope they set up an eBay auction for a Get Out of Jail Free card.
i call shenanigans on these reports of web-ineptitude.
you telling me that NYPD goons don't go home and have a wank with some sweet internet babes? what are they still perusing nudie mags and Sears catalog bra sections?
wait. i think i've said too much...
I see plenty of coppers using their iPhones.... ON DUTY, i guess i shouldn't be upset anymore and just assume they're all simultaneously fighting crime through twitter!!
Could you imagine if the NYPD learned what other PDs are doing with the interwebs?
I read a great article about how one department used facebook to piece together which people were members of which gangs. Facebook made it easy as everyone had everyone else friended... and many of the photos had people exhibiting gang wear and signs.
how do I sign up for his email list? I haven't seen that information anywhere.
Type up your email address on your typewriter and fax it over to the precinct. Or you could call the precinct as I just did.
Take a look a the NYPD website. It's just plain awful. Poor organization, bad graphics, good luck trying to find any real information. The memorial section is especially bad. Just a name and a date for each dead cop. Where was he? What precinct? How did he die? It's more of a "He died. Nothing to see. Move along," kind of memorial. The only city site that's worse is FDNY.
