EL Police: Keeping you safe AND killin’ it on Twitter

It's back to school season, and one thing is for sure: Spartans should expect to to run into police everywhere. They'll be lurking around the dorms and in the dining halls, driving around campus and busting parties.

On August 24, ELPD took this virtual ride-along concept to Twitter with their first-ever #ELPDTweetAlong, which featured Officer Bove and his K9 partner Quinn.

We like 21 savage as much anyone but if we hear "bank account" playing from 3 blocks away again your bank account will suffer #noiseticket — East Lansing Police (@EastLansingPD) August 26, 2017

It all started with one little tweet.

We will be riding with Officer Bove & his partner K9 Quinn tonight! Who's excited??? #ELPDTweetAlong pic.twitter.com/LNnorIeoJV — East Lansing Police (@EastLansingPD) August 25, 2017

Welcome week, amirite?

And off we go! We already hear the distant "go green, go white" chants…. this is going to be a long night #ELPDTweetAlong — East Lansing Police (@EastLansingPD) August 25, 2017

Um, gross.

An ELPD first: just stopped a car for driving without a… windshield. Dude you're gonna get bugs in your mouth #ELPDTweetAlong pic.twitter.com/dQMAE9G3ix — East Lansing Police (@EastLansingPD) August 25, 2017

At least they know they ruin the fun.

Whelp, that didn't take long. 1st noise complaint of the night. Turn down the despacito remix!!#partypoopersontheway #sorry #ELPDTweetAlong — East Lansing Police (@EastLansingPD) August 26, 2017

THEY KNOW THE TRENDS.

Ok Quinn is rested and ready to go! Making our way downtown, walking fast, faces pass- oh we got a little carried away srry #ELPDTweetAlong pic.twitter.com/nRuPkGMUF8 — East Lansing Police (@EastLansingPD) August 26, 2017

Everyday problems, apparently.

When you get stuck behind the horse cops am I right?? #ELPDTweetAlong pic.twitter.com/bkYxtft2qB — East Lansing Police (@EastLansingPD) August 26, 2017

Oops.

Pro tip: don't throw bottles at cars, especially undercover police cars. That just earned someone a free ride to jail #ELPDTweetAlong pic.twitter.com/7nfafWCiLD — East Lansing Police (@EastLansingPD) August 26, 2017

Genuinely impressed by the "smh."

Follow up tweet: en route to a fight downtown… smh ?‍♂️ #ELPDTweetAlong — East Lansing Police (@EastLansingPD) August 26, 2017

What's with all the bottle breaking?

RT if you're home for the night and not breaking bottles on Grove street #ELPDTweetAlong pic.twitter.com/wqAMZi5SGl — East Lansing Police (@EastLansingPD) August 26, 2017

Ahh, poop jokes.

Out with another fight downtown, strategically placed police horse excrement seemed to break it up quickly #ELPDTweetAlong pic.twitter.com/rCWCyW5stu — East Lansing Police (@EastLansingPD) August 26, 2017

If you want to giggle along with the people you love to loathe the most, make sure to follow ELPD on Twitter. We're sure there will be much more hilarity to come.

Happy welcome week, Spartans. Remember – don't get too boisterous, or you may just get put on blast on Twitter by the police department.
