Get a glimpse into the work being done on patrol by following Santa Cruz Police Department’s Twitter account for a virtual ride-along on Friday September 30th from Noon to 8:00pm. 

The Santa Cruz Police Department will be “tweeting” on its Twitter account calls for service, police activity, and photographs in what is being called a Virtual Ride-Along. This will be a unique inside view as to the activities of the Police Department and the types of calls SCPD Officers respond to. In addition to providing information on the type of calls, twitter followers can keep up with the scope and pace of the SCPD workday.

Follow us in real time on the Santa Cruz Police Department’s Twitter account @SantaCruzPolice to experience in a “Virtual Ride-Along” with the men and women who proudly serve and protect the citizens of Santa Cruz. Follow us on Twitter using the hashtag #ridewithSCPD .

The ride-along not only will provide an inside view of an officer’s day on patrol, but will be a platform for crime prevention tips and facts to enhance the quality of life in your neighborhood.

During the virtual #ridewithSCPD ride-along, we will also include information, tips, and facts about crime prevention and how to best assist officers and dispatchers by reporting crimes and suspicious activity.

Building community partnerships is an ongoing goal of the Santa Cruz Police Department. Social media has helped improve those partnerships by providing an outlet for crime information, education and awareness.

Virtual Ride-Along Coming This Thursday

Join us this Thursday June 19^th for a “Virtual Ride-Along”. 

You ask, “What is a Virtual Ride-Along”? 

Simple....we will be spending the day with Officer Carly Cross.  Carly will be accompanied by our Admin Assistant Kimberlee Steele, who will be Tweeting out all the activity that Carly and her team encounter during their shift.   

They will be working the dayshift, most likely in the Central beat.  The shift starts at 7:30 AM and is scheduled to end at 5:30 PM. 

Follow us on Twitter @SantaCruzPolice.   We will also be tagging each of the Tweets with #ridewithSCPD on the day of the Ride-Along. 

While the Ride-Along may be “Virtual”, the action and activity will be very real. 

Kimberlee will be tweeting out information on each of the calls and activities Carly encounters.  She will also Tweet out photos and Vine video of the various activities.  We will also have some stats and other interesting information throughout the day.

If all goes well, we will expand this with future Ride-Alongs on other shifts.
