A north Texas police department is asking drug dealers to turn in rival competitors who are stealing potential clients from them.

The Rowlett Police Department told drug dealers on Twitter Friday that they are always striving to improve community relations, even if the two camps don't always see eye to eye. They even included a kissy-face emoji to highlight their sincerity.

"Do you have a competitor who is stealing your clients? Would your bankroll be that much fatter if they weren't around?" the police department tweeted. "You're in luck! Answer the following questions and return the form to us at your convenience, and we will assist their apprehension."

Rowlett is near Garland and not far from Dallas.

The form includes space for drug dealers to list their competitor's name, residence, phone number and the vehicle he or she drives. The form also asks drug dealers what their competitor sells, store hours and "fun facts we should know about my competitor, but not listed above."

The tweet gathered a bit off attention, getting retweeted more than 500 times and liked more than 700 times.

@MaffewMenning tweeted a filled out the form by listing Hank Hill from the hit show "King of the Hill" as a competitor who sells "propane and propane accessories."
