Grants talk:IdeaLab/Better Police Liaison
Add topic- I'm not in principle opposed to this proposal, but before money and effort is put into it, could we have some numbers on the amount of harassment that warrants police intervention (serious death threats, slander, etc) being perpetrated on Wikimedia? If this is extremely sporadic, I'm not sure whether setting up a whole infrastructure for contacting the police is worth the effort, since resolving a handful of cases per year (just guessing) can probably well be done on a case by case basis. --Doveofsymplegades (talk) 08:39, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
