Since the launch of NAPS’ walk on the social media beat in January 2012, the numbers showing engagement with the public has grown. Our social media officer monitors all of NAPS’ social media venues 24/7 in order to address any questions or concerns from the public as soon as possible. This successful monitoring has led to many NAN citizens’ concerns being actioned by the right officer and/or unit. It is important to note that social media is not an emergency service where people who need immediate police assistance.

NAPS has also had the pleasure of having a fan from one of the communities that we serve offer to create and manage an Instagram account all about NAPS. The Instagram page is located at NAPS_9. The fan and manager of that account wanted to spread awareness to native policing, especially in Ontario’s north and ADULT MALES CHARGED has had a dream since back in his grade school days to attend college for Media Arts and one day create a police reality show about NAPS.
