E-Community Policing

The pragmatics of community policing on the online platforms of the Hungarian Police

Summary/Abstract: The emergence of social networking sites in policing has also led to optimism about their potential of the two-sided communication, however, the adaption of them into external organisational communication is a challenge for communication experts. The research observes the interfaces of the official website, the Instagram profile and Facebook page of the Hungarian Police, and the main questions of the research examine the methods and tools used by the organisation to fulfil the 21st-century communication challenges. The corpus of the research analyses the news items that appeared on all three platforms (n=28) from the posts of the first month (22 June 2020–21 July 2020) (N=843). The study presents the quantitative and quantitative data of the results and introduces the concept of e-community policing.
