According to the Evening Post, there has been an increase of 1000% since 2008 where callers have mentioned Facebook when providing officials with tips or information. With Facebook being internationally known and used, two police departments in the United Kingdom have reported over 3,179 calls, both emergency and non-emergency related, where the word “Facebook” was mentioned.

Thankfully, Californian’s do not have to look far to benefit from the information posted on Facebook. With a growing number of computer-savvy individuals, Facebook allows users to find out all sorts of information, from warnings of wanted individuals, to information about upcoming California DUI checkpoints or even information on how to get in touch with a leading local Orange County DUI Attorney.
