The VPD is tweeting their calls they get today and from last night, kinda interesting and some are just lol, drunk dancing lady in the street at 10am

lol

:rofl:

nice they put traffic accidents too

.

:p

^lol they are looking for you?

so i assuming 80% of the problem VPD deal with is Mental patients ??

Now we have an itemized list of how our tax money is spent. YAY.
Wonder how much the twitter person makes at VPD....

If they want to improve their image.
They should put call times, and response times.

It could totally work in their favor netting them more funding too.

Cops on Twitter = too much time on their hands.

Get back to work solving these problems, the taxpayers don't pay you to surf the internet :rolleyes:

haha

but they tweet via cell phones as the crime happens, doesnt take up that much time.

i think these tweets answer the question of "what are our cops doing with our tax money?" kinda interesting to see what they encounter on a day to day basis besides handing out traffic violations for going 55kmh or turning right without fully stopping when the light turns red

Nah, there's a dedicated person doing this. Apparently there's quite a few police departments that tweet.


Seattle's is much more interesting:

remember that this is just a ONE DAY thing, just for today. or so they say. it's just a sneak peek at the calls list. it's not like there's a VPD person tweeting all of this as a full-time job. it's just a media VPD person doing this just for today.

also, i'm pretty sure the sensitive cases like homicides or gang stuff won't get posted.

Unconfirmed, but someone told me that there was a homicide near Gladstone at 10am this morning, and the suspect may be hiding out in the school.

This is the only thing on the news so far.

Does anyone know the point of this twittering? Is it to let people know what they do daily and give the public more confidence in them?

dang gladstone locked the fuck down..
thats my hood y'all
haha

^ Highschool full of asians = hood

Must have been a long tiring day at work... tweeting all day long :sleepy:

I'd hate to have to deal with what cops have to day to day.

Pretty much everyone is always pissed off with them for what they do; either their response time is bad or they're an inconvenience

:rofl::rofl:
