NPAS social media community guidelines

We use social media to give you a closer look at the work of the National Police Air Service (NPAS) - from real-time updates to behind-the-scenes views of police aviation in action.

You’ll find us on X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and LinkedIn, where we share updates, photos, and insights into how we support policing across England and Wales. These accounts are managed by our communications team, with help from our crews and staff. Just a heads-up: our accounts aren’t monitored 24/7, so they’re not the place to report crime or emergencies.

To help keep our online spaces respectful and safe for everyone, we’ve put together a few simple guidelines.

When you engage with us online, please:

  • Keep things respectful - no abuse, threats, or discrimination
  • Stay on topic and avoid posting personal or sensitive information
  • Don’t share anything that could affect an ongoing investigation or court case

We may remove comments or block users if:

  • You name a victim, suspect, witness, or police officer in a way that could put them at risk
  • You use offensive or discriminatory language, or post anything that incites hate or violence
  • You post spam, promote unrelated products or services, or repeatedly share the same message
  • You share private information like phone numbers, addresses, or email addresses
  • Your comment could be seen as prejudicial to a court case, such as:
    • Mentioning someone’s past convictions
    • Making assumptions about guilt or innocence
    • Sharing unverified claims or speculation 

We also reserve the right to block accounts that are fake, abusive, or repeatedly break these rules.

If you think we’ve made a mistake

If you believe your comment was removed or your account was blocked unfairly, you can raise a concern by contacting us here.

Reporting crime

Please don’t use our social media channels to report crime.
