The maiden survey by Ejo Social Media Ranking Report 2013 has ranked the Rwanda National Police top among five most public institutions that used the social media effectively in 2013 to reach out to the community.
Ejo Social Media is a local social firm that offers expertise services to individuals and organizations to tell their stories effectively through social web.
The ranking was based on activity, online reputation, relevance of content and consistency.
Rwanda National Police took the top spot for maintaining activity, providing important and timely emergence alerts and effectively running online campaigns.
The force’s twitter handle “@Rwandapolice” and facebook account “Rwanda Police” are used to sensitize the community to ensure own security in their localities, and to respond to public’s concerns.
These two social channels are also used to discuss issues with the community, with the aim of improving on the quality services the force offers to the population, who are the major allies in policing.
The force’s activities can also be accessed on Youtube and Flickr
The development and use of E-Policing is one of the Rwanda National Police’s priorities.
The Rwanda National Police therefore calls upon members of the community to use these social networks to clarify on some things but also to advise their fellow Rwandans to cooperate to further build a better country that is free of crimes.
They can also report a crime by calling toll-free lines or by feeling the online crime, complaint and compliment forms.
The forms can be found on the Rwanda National Police web site www.police.gov.rw by clicking on the ‘E-Policing’ link.
