Most police departments attempt to connect with the people in their areas with social media nowadays. Normally it’s to update users on figures or special programs or to warn about recent criminal activity. But not in Iceland. You see, crime isn’t a huge problem in the capital city of Reykjavik, so cops can focus on establishing good relationships and being useful and friendly.
They use various social channel to illustrate how approachable they are. Their Instagram is particularly fantastic, full of weird pictures you’d never expect! Check them out…
