Cybersecurity: Here’s your sign

Be suspicious. Hackers use fake messages to make you download dangerous attachments or give out important data. Always ask yourself: Could this be a trick? Download here. Free.

Don’t be afraid to question the legitimacy of an email and if something looks suspicious — report it!

LLCC Police Department launches Facebook page

With a fast-paced and technology-efficient world, law enforcement agencies have an obvious responsibility to create and maintain a social media presence. The LLCC Police Department (LLCCPD) has recently launched a Facebook page. According to Chief Russell, “Facebook is a great tool to provide a forum for people to ask questions and for the police department to share tips. Especially during COVID-19, it is important to build positive relationships and a sense of community by engaging with each other through social media.” LLCCPD can establish a credible presence on social media that opens a new door of communication with the general public.  Community Service Officer Brendan Lee expressed, “Facebook can also help spread information quickly and with minimal effort which in the end could protect and benefit the college campus community.”

What can you see on the Facebook page?  LLCPD will provide informational updates to utilize the opportunity to engage their community. With the use of appropriate humor, posts will be friendly and tongue-in-cheek to humanize the LLCCPD. As a result, Officer Cleo Moore states, “The success or failure of community policing hinges our LLCC Police Department’s ability to humanize both the law enforcement profession and the people we serve.”

Disclaimer: The posting of requests for police assistance, regardless if it is of an emergency or non-emergency nature, is discouraged and will not guarantee a response by the LLCCPD or any emergency service provider. In case of an emergency, or if police assistance is needed, please dial 911.
