Archived News Release: March 14, 2017 - ​The City of Ann Arbor Police Department has expanded its social media connection with the community by launching the department's Twitter account, https://twitter.com/A2Police. AAPD made its social media debut in March 2016, via Facebook and Nextdoor. AAPD uses social media as another way to share police news, safety tips, community engagement opportunities, crime alerts, event announcements and emergency information. 

Other AAPD online platforms and feedback tools are listed below:

• Crime Mapping: A web-based crime map of the City of Ann Arbor that allows residents to map out reported, verified criminal activity near any address, select crime types, date ranges and generate reports.
  
• Traffic Complaint Questionnaire: The City of Ann Arbor is dedicated to the five "E's" of traffic safety: Evaluation, Engineering, Education, Emergency Response, and Enforcement. 
  
• Traffic complaints and information can be submitted via an online form.
  
• Ann Arbor Police Department Service Satisfaction Survey. 
  
• Perception of Community Safety Survey. 
  

Also active on social media are the City of Ann Arbor (Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn) and Ann Arbor Parks and Recreation (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram). Parks and the city find online engagement effective for sharing information and opportunities, but also for directly answering questions and responding to concerns promptly and accurately.
