Now You Can Message President Obama on Facebook.

For the greater part of our nation's history, the only way to get a message to the President and the White House was to send it by mail. Technology made new ways of communicating possible. In the 1880s, the White House began receiving phone calls. In 1994, WhiteHouse.gov introduced a way for the public to submit messages online.

Today, there are more ways than ever for us to communicate. No matter where you are or what time of day it is, it's possible to connect instantaneously, in real time, to people all over the world. One of our jobs at the White House is to keep up.

That's why as of yesterday, for the first time ever, you will be able to send a note to President Obama simply by messaging the White House on Facebook, the same way you message your friends.

Our goal is to meet people where they are. It's why the President launched his own Twitter account and the First Lady is on Snapchat. It's about creating opportunities for people to engage with their government in new and accessible ways, using the same technologies we already rely on in our daily lives.

Bringing Our Nation's Law Enforcement Officials Together for a Conversation on Community Policing

In June, in cooperation with the Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, the White House began to host a series of briefings with local law enforcement agencies to help agencies learn how to implement the Task Force on 21st Century Policing's recommendations for reform.

Each week, nearly 100 police officers of all ranks visited the White House and heard from experts on topics such as implicit bias, officer safety and wellness, and using social media to improve public trust with the communities they serve. In addition, the officers received information on how to join the President's Police Data Initiative, a community of practice that enables police departments to collect and publish data on policing activities with the hope of beginning a dialogue within their community.

Yesterday, we hosted our sixth briefing at the White House and are announcing that on September 8th, 16th, and 28th we will host another round of briefings. If your law enforcement agency is interested in attending a briefing, please email: 21stCenturyPolicing@who.eop.gov.
