Cherry Hill Fire Co

The Cherry Hill Fire Department relies on a “limited public forum” theory in its social media policy. This includes:

- Users and visitors to social media sites shall be notified that the intended purpose of the site is to serve as a mechanism for communication between the Cherry Hill Fire Department (CHFD) and members of the public.

CHFD social media site articles and comments containing any of the following forms of content shall not be allowed:
a. Comments not topically related to the particular social medium article being commented upon;
b. Comments in support of or opposition to political campaigns or ballot measures;
c. Profane language or content;
d. Content that promotes, fosters, or perpetuates discrimination on the basis of race, creed, color, age, religion, gender, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, national origin, physical or mental disability or sexual orientation;
e. Sexual content or links to sexual content;
f. Solicitations of commerce;
g. Conduct or encouragement of illegal activity;
h. Information that may tend to compromise the safety or security of the public or public systems; or
i. Content that violates a legal ownership interest of any other party.
These guidelines must be displayed to users or made available by hyperlink. Any content removed based on these guidelines must be retained, including the time, date and identity of the poster when available.

The CHFD reserves the right to restrict or remove any content that is deemed in violation of its policy or any applicable law; it also indicates its goal of approaching the use of social media tools as consistently as possible.
