The Boone County Sheriff’s Office has turned off the comment sections of its social media accounts. According to a Facebook post from Dec. 8, the department said it noticed vulgar and accusatory comments to other users, as well as several spam comments.
Capt. Brian Leer, public information officer for the department, said most of the comments are positive, but the few that aren’t target other users. The department has had issues with managing the comment sections and decided to turn them off altogether.
