Our Social Media Policy

The Eastern Shore Undercover® Social Media pages update our community on breaking news coverage and essential information.
 
By engaging in conversation on our social media pages, you agree to all terms and conditions of the Eastern Shore Undercover® Community Guidelines.
 
If you fail to comply with Eastern Shore Undercover® Community Guidelines, we reserve the right to block you, restrict your access, and remove you from the page at our sole discretion without any notice or warning.  
 

AUTHENTICITY OF ALL CONTENT

All of the material on our website and social media pages is considered authentic. We always want to maintain our level of integrity, and we will never post any sort of clickbait or fake news.
 
We want to ensure that the content you see on Eastern Shore Undercover® is authentic, genuine, and true. Therefore, our promise to you is that we will ensure that all material posted on our website and social media platforms is true to the best of our ability.
 
We publish news posts directly from Police, Fire, and EMS dispatch and from reliable sources we have developed over the past few years. The information posted is the initial broadcast from emergency services dispatch communications. When first responders arrive on the scene, we make every attempt to confirm the information, and if there are any changes, they are promptly corrected. 
 
At no time will we fabricate or make up a story to post on Eastern Shore Undercover® Social Media pages. What you read about are the legitimate calls that our Police, Fire, and EMS crews are dispatched to.
 

REMOVAL OF POSTS

Many times, an individual will ask us to take down a post. Our policy is firm on this matter: We do not take down posts. When we first started Eastern Shore Undercover®, we took down a few posts, which caused people to accuse us of hiding calls for service. 
 
We believe in full transparency, and therefore, we have nothing to hide. We post all calls that are public and appropriate to be shared.
 
It isn’t fair for us to take down some calls and not others. Therefore, we do not take down ANY calls for any reason unless requested to do so by law enforcement or government agencies.
 

SAFETY

Safety for everyone is our #1 priority. We will not tolerate any comments that are threatening or that may cause harm to anyone on our platforms. We will immediately remove any comment considered a threat, and the person who made that comment will be immediately removed from our social media pages. NO EXCEPTIONS!
 
Any comments that threaten a page follower or have the potential to intimidate or silence another individual on any of our social media pages will be removed, and the person who made the comment will be banned from all Eastern Shore Undercover® social media pages.
 

PRIVACY

Eastern Shore Undercover® prioritizes privacy; therefore, we will never post an exact address, personal information, or material that could violate someone’s privacy. At no time will anyone’s private information be released on this page unless it is provided by a government agency in an official capacity and able to be verified.
 

DIGNITY AND FAIRNESS TO ALL

Eastern Shore Undercover® believes that all followers of our page are equal in dignity and rights. We expect and require that people respect the dignity of others and not harass or degrade others in any way, shape, or form. We allow people to speak their minds and have a location to express their opinions; however, we will not allow individuals to get engaged in vigorous arguments and become derogatory with each other.
 
Therefore, we ask that everyone be professional and conduct themselves professionally. If we notice that you are rude to others or degrading in any way, you will be asked to stop and may be removed from Eastern Shore Undercover®.
 
Racial comments are NOT allowed on any of our social media pages! Please refrain from using any and all racial comments. We will not, under any circumstance, tolerate any comment that can be considered racial or discuss race. 
 
Any comment about a person’s race will be deleted immediately, and you will be removed from our social media pages. Eastern Shore Undercover® is a platform for all races and nationalities. 
 

UPDATES ON SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS AND NEWS ARTICLES

One of the most frequent questions and messages we ask is about updates. We all know we want an ending and an update to each of these incidents, but unfortunately, that doesn’t happen in the real world.
 
We do our best to update each post; however, there are times when that information just isn’t available. Please refrain from messaging us asking for updates because it takes too much time to stop and reply to each message.
 
When we have an update, it will ALWAYS be posted in the original post.
 

LINKING AND URLS ARE NOT PERMITTED

Eastern Shore Undercover® does not permit links or URLs on our Social Media pages. We can not verify the information that is contained within these URLs and simply don’t have the time to verify each article, so please don’t post any links, no matter what they are for or what page they are from!
 

COMMENTS HAVING NOTHING TO DO WITH ORIGINAL POST WILL BE REMOVED

While many of you may think posting some things is funny, it creates problems for Eastern Shore Undercover®. If your comment is about something unrelated to the original post, it will be removed. 
 

PRO-LAW ENFORCEMENT POLICY

We are a pro-law enforcement business, and therefore, we do not allow anyone to speak negatively about law enforcement. There are no exceptions. This type of negativity spreads like wildfire, and we won’t allow it on our page. If your comments are negative toward law enforcement, you will be removed from all social media platforms of Eastern Shore Undercover®.
