The Denver Police Department would like the community to know they can now follow the DPD on Twitter.

We have been operating on Twitter on trial basis for the past two months. DPD’s Twitter account surpassed 900 followers.  This group includes DPD Officers, city employees, community members, media outlets, and even two people in Tehran, IRAN.  Although 900 may not seem like much in a city of 600,000, consider that some of our messages have been repeated to tens of thousands of people around the world.

Every day, the DPD Media Relations Unit sends out messages (140 characters or less) on a variety of topics (calls and cases you may have worked, the law, facts about the department, commendable actions, etc.).  And we have become one of the fastest growing police agencies in the world! (DPD is currently #21 in the world for police departments on Twitter)

Denver Police welcome you to follow us if you have not yet created a Twitter account to keep up with what is happening in our department it is simple and free (see "Read More" for directions)
