with constant updates, gems such as "Radar spelled backwards is radar. We get you coming and going. Have a great day and stay safe" and "The best car safety device is a rear-view mirror... with a cop in it." Seems like a huge waste of resources to me with no real benefit. All it is doing is making them look like a bunch of ignorant power hungry hicks (which is true, but still...)

what are these said resources required to make a facebook page?

Remember you can view the profiles of most people in the city.

Mainly time...presumably somebody in the department made the page while on the clock using the town's computer

Edit:
And who knows how much time has been wasted since the creation of the page, with pointless updates, Facebook stalking, etc.

If ya'll were familiar with the Taylorsville Police Department you would realize how ridiculous that page is.

Edit:
Not to mention this is the same department that suspended an officer for having a picture on Facebook of his son wearing his hat
