SOCIAL MEDIA DISCLAIMER

Terms of Use

Only certain types of speech are subject to government restrictions. The below is a narrowly-tailored disclaimer that balances the public's freedom of speech/expression with the PPD's legitimate governmental interest in hiding, removing and/or deleting certain social media comments.[1]

The Parkchester Police Department ("PPD") endorses the secure use of social media to enhance and support PPD program goals and objectives as well as to facilitate interaction with the community. There is no endorsement, implied or otherwise, by the PPD of any fan posts, commentary, links, or photos. Writers/fans/followers are fully responsible for the content that they submit. Opinions expressed by the writers/fans are not the opinions of the PPD and/or Parkchester North and South Condominiums.

This social media site is intended to serve as a mechanism for communication between the public and the PPD on the listed topics. Any comments submitted to the PPD social media site are public records, and may be subject to disclosure pursuant to New York Public Officers Law § 87.

Comments are important to us and others who read these pages. The PPD seeks to ensure that this page and all posted comments are appropriate for, and respectful of, the diverse population that we serve, and that this environment is inclusive and safe for, and tolerant of, all participants. Pursuant to the Parkchester North and South Condominiums social media policy, the PPD reserves the right to hide, remove and/or delete posts that:

  • Contain hate speech;

  • Incite illegal or harmful action, or are a clear violation of local, State, or federal laws;

  • Are meant to provoke a violent response from another individual;

  • Contain true threats wherein the speaker communicates an intent to commit an unlawful act of violence against a particular person, group or entity;

  • Are obscene;
