By CAMILA FERNANDEZ WISH-TV | wishtv.com The Carmel Police Department (CPD) is coming up with creative ideas that will keep students safer online. A group of school resource officers have created a video that’s now part of “Truth Be Told,” a new series of internet safety videos created by CPD’s school resource officers. This week, they’re focusing on the dangers of Snapchat. “We’ve done one on TikTok. We’ve done one on Omegle, which was an older platform or an older app, but still prevalent,” said Sarah Livingston, a school resource officer. Carmel police Sgt. D.J.

As the world begins to wake up from being at home and life finds some sense of normality, concerts and gigs are starting to happen again.

Simply put, the service sees a miniature version of Ticketmaster transplanted into Snapchat, with Snapchatters swiping left and right to browse concerts, and seeing if friends on the platform are also interested in going, as well, or even inviting them along.
