The Frankfort Fire Department announced the adoption of a new social media policy that was approved by the Frankfort Board of Public Works and Safety during the meeting on Monday, Feb. 10.
The new policy outlines guidelines for the department’s use of social media platforms with the aim to enhance communication with the community while maintaining professionalism and protecting sensitive information.
According to the City, the department recognizes the importance of social media as a tool for public outreach, education and engagement, which led to the new policy that provides a framework for utilizing the platforms responsibly and effectively. The policy will address aspects of social media use, including content guidelines, professional conduct, account management and public engagement. The policy also establishes standards for the content that can be shared on the official social media pages.
“We are committed to engage with our community, share important information, and build stronger relationships through social media, while upholding the highest standards of professionalism and protecting sensitive information,” Fire Chief Matt Stidham said.
