Kansas City police now on Twitter

The Kansas City Police Department has opened up a Twitter account. Nothing interesting up yet but the police say updates at http://twitter.com/kcpolice will include “breaking crime and traffic news, missing person alerts, press releases and more” so stay tuned.

Here’s what Chief Jim Corwin had to say in the release: “With Twitter, we can leverage technology to keep the public up to date with breaking information.”

So far, they’re up to 20 followers.
