The NSW Police are not @nswpolice but claim to be non-existent @NSW_Police

It does get complicated online, doesn't it?

NSW Police Public Affairs Director Strath Gordon says he is unsure whether the person is a police officer, or a member of the community simply interested in police affairs. "We're obviously seeking to get into that space, and we're talking to Twitter about their impersonation policy," he said. Police have started "twittering" under their own alternative name - "@NSW_Police" - but Mr Gordon says he is concerned that users are more likely to trust tweets from the unofficial account due to its name.

Shame. I was enjoying @nswpolice, too. But when I search for @NSW_Police I find... only the apparent fake. Is the press release ahead of reality?
