Pell City’s Police Department started up its own Facebook page last week. It’s not that the town’s cops have nothing more to do than stare at computers all day. Rather, it’s a way to reach residents quickly through a medium they already use a lot.

Parents were worried last week as rumors spread by Internet and cell phones that weapons had been confiscated in Pell City High School, and the Police Department’s means of quelling the exaggerated stories were nowhere near as effective or as fast.

Chief Greg Turley hopes using Facebook will put his officers in closer — and faster — contact with Pell City residents.
