Tweetminster

Top trends in a day in the life of the Greater Manchester Police.

This morning the Greater Manchester Police (@gmpolice) announced that they would be tweeting all the incidents they dealt with over 24 hours.

Besides providing unique insight into the everyday work of the police, the experiment is an incredible resource in terms of the data that is being shared.

Between 5am and 5pm, over 1000 incidents had been recorded, 119 people held in custody and 217 arrests had been made.

We tracked the first 1000 incidents tweeted by @gmp24_1 @gmp24_2 and @gmp24_3.
