NYPD creates world's first police department podcast
It's on: just click here and you're at the podcast headquarters of the New York City Police Department.
You can subscribe to the podcasts or simply listen via your computer.
The information you get comes straight from the NYPD, unfiltered by journalists or broadcasters.
The first podcast went up last Wednesday and offered information about street closings around the UN.
It also contained information about identity theft and an interview with a high–ranking officer sent to New Orleans after Katrina.
The department plans to to update the podcasts at least weekly, more frequently as circumstances demand.
They'll contain updates on major cases and appeals for help with unsolved crimes.
The NYPD is also planning a Spanish–language version.
Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly listens to all manner of music, audiobooks and language lessons on his iPod; it was his idea to make the NYPD the world's first iPod–friendly police department.
