Law enforcement professionals nationwide are using consumer messaging apps like Signal, WhatsApp, and iMessage on a daily basis. However, these apps can cause serious problems if they’re being used on the job. Check out this video for a quick example of the “media frenzy” that can follow when communications aren’t handled in a compliant manner.

Using messaging apps like Signal for official communication has been described as “begging for trouble.” Not only does it risk public record violations, but the trust of the general public can also take a huge hit. Fortunately, this is something that every law enforcement agency can fix quickly and easily.
