Salt Lake City Police Chief Chris Burbank has seven friends.

At least, that's what his department's MySpace page said this morning, a few minutes after the I received an e-mail announcing the creation of the site.

Right now, the page is pretty blank. But in the release, Burbank promises "pictures, videos and blogs about and by the more than 700 men and women of the Department on our MySpace page.”

Ooh. I can hardly wait.

In the meantime, if you're considering "friending" the SLCPD, you might also consider what that means — they'll be able to access all your photos, blogs entries, music and a list of all your other MySpace posse members.

I'm not saying you've got anything to hide, but do you really want Burbank leafing through all those photos you took in Cancun last summer?

Yeah, I didn't think so.
