FROM THE CORPUS CHRISTI POLICE DEPARTMENT -
The public will be able to do a virtual ride-a-long from the comfort of home Wednesday, August 8, 2012, with the Corpus Christi Police Department from 5:30 p.m.-12:30 a.m.
The Corpus Christi Police Department will show the photographs and announce the activity on Twitter as it happens. Anyone interested to experience the virtual ride-a-long with the Corpus Christi Police can follow the activity on Twitter @CorpusChristiPD. The Twitter message will begin at 5:30 p.m. when the shift roll call happens, then document the officer's activity through the entire shift.
The purpose of the event is to provide the public an example of the work day for a typical Corpus Christi Police Patrol Officer. This is the first such event the Corpus Christi Police Department has hosted. Followers on Twitter will be able to ask questions as the virtual ride-a-long happens.
The virtual ride-a-long will be with Corpus Christi Police Officer Trenade Paddock and the officer she trains from the 70th Police Academy Class, Officer Phillip Martinez, as they patrol the Delta District Wednesday night.
Visit the Corpus Christi Police Department twitter account and "follow" CorpusChristiPD to experience and participate in the first virtual ride-a-long with the Corpus Christi Police Department.
