Boston Globe 3/29/09: Franklin, Wellesley police show the way with Twitter links. Police departments in Franklin and Wellesley have been leading the way by using Twitter to push out information on traffic and other activities. And now the service is gaining popularity, or at least scrutiny, at other area departments. Police in Wayland are considering it. "It’s something we’re discussing of late," said Wayland Police Chief Robert Irving. "We’re talking about exactly what would go on there, what we’d be putting out." For the department to proceed with Twitter, Irving said, there is "the need to have a policy in place" to be careful of what information was shared publicly.
