The Red Oak Police Department uses social media to connect and communicate directly with the public. By reaching out in these new ways, the department can interact with a large and diverse audience. The goal is to disseminate accurate information and content in a timely manner. The sites serve as a one-stop source for information. In addition, the Red Oak Police Department uses the social media to help solve crimes by posting videos and photos of suspects that need to be identified.
