This episode is part of a mini series of case studies from people who have been using Periscope over the last year to mark the one year anniversary of the app.


My guest is Neil a UK Police Officer (for privacy reasons in relation to his work he does not share his surname online). He has been active in his use and advocacy of live streaming for his work. We discuss how the Police service in the UK has been using live streaming as part of their communications.


We also discuss an initiative that he has started to stop people live streaming when driving called #DontStreamAndDrive.


I hope you will find the episode of assistance, especially if you are just getting started with Periscope for live streaming and are in a role in the public sector.
