Albany police department on Twitter
The Albany Police Department started using Twitter about a month ago (@albanypolice).
Much like the Schenectady PD, the APD has been using Twitter mostly to publicize arrest reports (including mug shots). But it's also included a few tweets about in-progress investigations and links to press releases about crimes.
This is a positive development and we applaud the effort (maybe they could follow a few people, too). Of course, we'd love to see more -- like crime reports published in a structured format.
Say Something!
We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.

I almost drove off the road on the way to the Co-op the other night when I saw they were using one of the big orange blinking roadside traffic alert signs to publicize their Twitter-ness.

So who's going to be the one to ask about Albany PD's zombie notification policy?
