does your police department have a facebook page?

mine does, it's interesting. I was following news of the serial arsonist and pleased they arrested her. her! I was surprised, I guess I don't know all about crime just because I've watched Criminal Minds.

they posted this today; their posts tend to have this light-hearted tone

We had several people call in about a suspicious package on the side of the road. It was a box, wrapped in duct tape and plastic, located just under the McAndrews overpass. We called the OSP bomb squad and they rendered the package "inert" with their water cannon. The water cannon essentially destroys the object with a powerful charge of water, which is shot from a shotgun shell.

Well, it turns out the object was a home made cooler. So whomever lost their custom duct tape cooler, we have it. It looks a little different now and you are gonna need more duct tape.

Mine does. They post pics of animals found abandoned and will let everyone know if their owners got them or if they are available for adoption. They also post mug shots of people they have active warrants on.

I didn't think to look until you posted this. It does have a FB page, where most of the posters have ripped them a new one.

Mine does, but nothing is there except the address and phone number.

That's ok, one of my neighbors has the Police Chief's personal number on speed dial and uses it. She yells at him for being a dickwad and not following the laws of the town.

Mine does and it looks like people are using it (I just looked it up because I didn't know so thank you for that @JackieOnLine!). My favorite though is actually one for a small town about 40 miles east of me. The police department facebook page for that town routinely lists the lemonade stands currently going on and encourages people to stop by!

We don't have a police department.
