From the county listserv we learn that tomorrow:
On November 1, 2013, the Burlingame Police Department will take part in the 2nd Annual Global Police Tweet-a-thon. The Burlingame Police Department will be working in coordination with several other Bay Area law enforcement agencies in a working group known as Bay Area Law Enforcement Social Media Group (BALESMG). Law enforcement agencies worldwide will be conducting variations of tweets from the beat, virtual ride-a-longs, and information campaigns.
Last March, police departments participated in the first ever Global Tweet-a-thon, which included over 200 law enforcement agencies in 10 countries, speaking 23 languages! During the 24-hour period, the participants in last year’s tweet-a-thon sent and shared 48,482 tweets. This time, we are hoping to increase the number of participating agencies and tweets.
On November 1st, from 6 am to 6 pm follow us @BurlingamePD as we participate in the 2nd Annual Global Police Tweet-a-thon. Burlingame Police Department Corporal Dave Perna will be tweeting his activity during his duties patrolling the streets of Burlingame.
Sounds like it could be interesting. If you have never done a physical ride-along, this is way easier!
There are still ride-alongs going on. Trousdale Dr is the "training ground" for newish officers to get their practice writing tickets, up and down, and around... seems like they've been at it all week on Trousdale.

Good! Maybe they can get some practice writing speeding tickets, too.
