Great local police tweeting

In the sleepy city of Hereford a local policing team has recently started tweeting. And they are doing quite a good job of it.

  1. South Side Cops in Hereford (West Mercia) doing their neighbourhood policing thing
  2. southsidecops
    Police activity at Tescos Belmont. Man arrested, and some concerns about items found in his vehicle, evacuation of area needed. #police

    Sorry for the inconvenience, but we have to have a 200 metre cordon around this suspect vehicle at Tesco on advice of the military. #police
