Beginning in February, we will begin taking folks on “Virtual Ride-Alongs” via our VirtualEPD twitter account. When you “follow” the VirtualEPD account, you will be following an officer as they patrol their beat. You will get alerts when the officer is assigned to a run, initiates an investigation, and any other activity they are involved with. We will post pictures and videos when we can. We will be announcing the date and time so you will know when it is going to happen. We will determine how often we do this based on public response.
As part of the program, we will let you know who the officer is and what radio number they are using if you want to monitor a police scanner as well.
