Police tweetathon Friday June 28, helps the missing

[zwiebel]

The global police tweetathon on Friday 28th June has already kicked off in some parts of the world. It uses the hashtag #poltwt and is a way for police and community members to reach out to each other across the world.

My nomination for funniest police tweet so far goes to the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office, for this one:

@OKCountySheriff The Global Police Tweet A Thon has already kicked off in New Zealand where tomorrow is today.

And Hingham Police get my vote for most informative tweet about the event so far: https://mobile.twitter.com/HinghamPolice/media/grid?idx=1&tid=482204800076226561

Many police departments are using the day to highlight missing person and important crime cases, so it seems like a very good thing.

Here's an article about the event.

It's interesting you know guys - latest police tweets are that a vehicle just crashed into a building and an officer who thinks that a pirate just passed him in a boat.
