YOUR CONTENT OR COMMENT IS HIDDEN

While we respect everyone’s constitutional rights to free speech, we also have rights for how we manage our social media platforms. Because you violated our social media terms of service, we had to hide your comment pending you modifying what you typed.

“KEYBOARD WARRIORS” NOT ALLOWED

We want to be more approachable, transparent, and accommodating to everyone in our community, which is why we are on social media. We’re not infallible and we’re open to critiques and complaints, regardless of how much it might sting. That’s what helps us become better each day. We want to hear what you have to say, but display the best image of yourself to everyone watching what you type.

If you have had a bad experience with law enforcement or the criminal justice system, we understand your anger or frustration. However, we’re not going to give you a platform for you to ridicule or put down the hard working men and women of our organization and the law enforcement profession.

HOW TO GET YOUR COMMENT PUBLISHED

To get your comment “un-hidden” or published, simply reach out to our public affairs officer at (909) 382-3665. Most of the time it is simply the removing of a certain word or portion of content which will make your comment conform to our terms of service.

REPORTING TO FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, TWITTER, ETC.

Your online conduct may not violate our terms of service, but it may violate the terms of service for the platform you posted your comment or content on. In cases such as these, we will notify the individual platform so they may take the appropriate action, if warranted.
