SMILE, YOU’RE ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Dustin and Anil returned from the SMILE Conference with social media lessons from law enforcement that apply to Govies everywhere. Plus on the Week in Tweet, Eyragon and Paul join the conversation about everything from a pot-seeking Twitterer who was invited to police HQ, blowback against Facebook's editorial choices, and a slew of new features to keep Periscope in the live video game.
