The Evansville Police Department will do their first Virtual Ride- Along program this Thursday, March 14th. The ride-along will be from 3pm-7pm. This program will give you real-time tweets as you follow Officer Steve Hicks while he patrols the west side. To get the Virtual Ride-Along tweets, you must sign up to follow us on Twitter at VirtualEPD. This is a separate account from the regular EPD twitter feed.
We hope to interact with twitter followers as the situation allows us to. This program has been used in a few other communities, but is new to our area. We hope it is something that the public finds worthwhile. We will see how it works out and go from there.
