We’ve always been dedicated to showing the excellent work of our police, fire, and rescue crews. However, Facebook has decided it no longer wants these posts on its platform and is automatically removing them.

Facebook states that our posts about crime and arrests violate community standards.

If you want to continue getting news about public safety, crime, and breaking news, please sign up for our FREE news email and never miss a story. If you already get it, please forward it to a friend and encourage them to sign up.

More connected communities are stronger communities, which in turn result in healthier small businesses and increased voter participation—two of our goals here at Potomac Local.

Don’t rely on a computer algorithm to get you local news. Let us send it to your email at no charge.

Thank you.
