Yes, there is a massive disconnect between seasoned officers and younger ones in terms of technology usage. I think "millennial" officers could come up with great ideas about how to use technology in policing, but they need context which only experience can provide. Only two ways to get that experience! Ultimately the transition will, I think, come down to younger officers who rise through the ranks and are finally able to implement new policies and practices. Till then, we have the "outliers" paving the way! As for presentations, I dunno. I feel like *everyone* does presentations. I am really bad at doing things "everyone else" does. ;) Need to think more about it! Thanks, Chris.

Not only applicable to law enforcement, but to all professionals. I agree planning is very important. Once information is posted it is very difficult, if not impossible to redact what's posted. Another important note is that even if you don't post information about yourself, someone may post information about your on their site/blog/profile. And finally, I agree that agencies need to start looking at doing training with their officers, especially in their recruit training. The difficulty is in getting "seasoned" law enforcement personnel that are somewhat experienced both in social media AND experienced in police enforcement and/or community policing. Sometimes, the agency may have to look "outside" their current personnel pool who fits the bill ;) Anyways, great interview and you SHOULD do presentations! Aloha Christa,
