LPD adds Twitter to cruisers

LPD adds Twitter contact information to their fleet of cruisers.


If you are following a Lima Police Department cruiser through town today, you might notice an addition.  The LPD has added their twitter "handle" to the back of their cruisers. 

Sergeant Andy Green is the manager for the Department's social media sites.  "We have had some amazing success through our social media sites.  We are excited about the great partnership we have with the Citizens of Lima, and hope to continue to expand our use of social media."

This latest addition to the entire LPD fleet shows the twitter "bird" logo, and the department's handle "@LimaPolice"  In order to connect with the LPD on Twitter, go to www.twitter.com and create a free account.  You can then search for @LimaPolice, click follow, and then enjoy 2 way communication with the Police Department.

According to Green, several agencies across the Country have added their twitter contact information to their cruisers.  "I see it working other places, and am excited to see it work here." 

The Lima Police Department has been live on social media since November of 2012 when the department's facebook page launched.  Twitter was added in mid-2013.  The department also has a YouTube channel.
