Arcadia Police Tweets 'Virtual Ride-Along'

The Arcadia Police Department will participate in the first Global Tweet-a-thon.

Officers from the Arcadia Police Department will join more than 100 law enforcement agencies across six countries Friday to take to Twitter in the first Global Tweet-a-thon designed to bring attention and understanding to the use of social media by law enforcement.

"We hope to use the event as a virtual ride-along, giving the community a glimpse of the daily activity and a behind the scenes look at the typical day of a patrol officer; and, on a larger scale, we hope our participation continues to positively influence the rapidly growing acknowledgement, acceptance, and use of social media by other public safety agencies,” Sgt. Tom LeVeque said.

Agencies will tweet using the same hashtag, #poltwt between 8 a.m. and midnight. Follow the Arcadia Police @ArcadiaPD. While you're at it, follow Arcadia Patch at @ArcadiaPatch. If you don’t already use Twitter, sign up for free at https://twitter.com/
