Lawrence Police Department to host a second ‘tweet-along’

Once again the Lawrence Police Department is hitting the streets and inviting everybody with internet access to take a ride with them.

The department, through its Twitter account @LawrenceKS_PD, is hosting another so called tweet-along Saturday evening and into Sunday morning.

The social media event will start at 5 p.m. Saturday and go through 3 a.m. Sunday, according to the department’s Twitter account.

The department hosted its first tweet-along in May and, in case you missed the occasion, be assured it was a rousing success.

During the tweet-alongs, the officer handling the Twitter account will describe what is happening at calls around town.

Last time there were photos, videos, GIFs and memes aplenty.

If you’ve got questions, holla (tweet) at them. Comments? Tweet ’em. Don’t know what a meme or GIF is? You may have some homework to do.

If you come in late to the show you can always catch up using the #LKPDTweetalong hashtag.

Since announcing the upcoming tweet-along, the department has also been working to try and entice celebrity Rob Riggle, who is an area native and University of Kansas alumnus, to participate.

So far, no word from Riggle.

Perhaps if enough people tweet at the dude he might just join in? I’m not sure. It’s hard to say what he’s up to. He might still be exhausted from roasting Rob Lowe and Ann Coulter.

Regardless, the tweet-along is sure to be an entertaining and enlightening event. You never know what might happen. No two days as a police officer look alike.
