RULES OF ENGAGEMENT:
The Aransas Pass Police Department maintains this page as a source to share news and relevant topics with members of the community. The opinions expressed by visitors to this page do not reflect the views of the Aransas Pass Police Department. The Aransas Pass Police Department requires that all posts to this page must adhere to Facebook’s Community Standards Rules and expres
sly reserves the right to remove or block submissions that contain:
a) profanity and vulgar or abusive language
b) personal attacks or threats of any kind
c) offensive comments that target or disparage any ethnic, racial, or religious group
d) sexual content or links to sexual content
e) sensitive information (for example, information that could compromise public safety or ongoing investigations)
f) spam or links to other sites
g) advocating illegal activity
h) promoting particular services, products or political organizations/candidates
i) infringing on copyrights or trademarks
j) personally identifiable medical information
k) comments not typically related to the particular subject matter being presented. NOTICE:
We typically don't remove comments or ban individuals. Such action rarely occurs and requires staff to elevate the action to the Chief for approval. Comment numbers reflected in a post represent deleted, hidden, and public comments. If a comment does not appear, it was removed by the writer, Facebook, or department staff. Most comments are autohidden by the Facebook rules in place. These rules are intended to protect other users from malicious links and spam. Though we can see what Facebook auto-hides, we do not review each post individually. We simply don't have time for that. We do not see posts deleted/removed by the writer or Facebook. Due to the recent influx of vile posts, responses, and comments, we rarely check in to review our Page's Facebook activity and respond to private messages. We use it to share information with our community that we feel is or might be important to them. Many of those bombarding our posts through response spamming and saturation are not from the community and remain intent on harassing public safety staff while also stifling free and open dialogue by community stakeholders and members with their public services. If you need to contact us, please utilize communication portals on our website, https://police.aptx.gov, or call 361-758-5224. FACEBOOK TERMS & STANDARDS:
