The relationship between police and Americans, particularly black Americans, is complicated, to say the least. 'To protect and serve' is their purpose, but many believe that the reality proves otherwise. Naturally, the police are looking for ways to connect with the community to spread the word that they're not all bad guys and even have a sense of humor. Two police departments from the state of Kansas - Lawrence and Topeka PD's - found a unique way to connect with their communities. "What we have found is that using humor generates a lot more interest, generates a lot more replies and retweets and things like that if it's funny because people don't expect a police department to be funny," Public Affairs Officer Drew Fennelly from the Lawrence Police Department explained to the media. The two Twitter accounts have a huge following and people are actually looking forward to hearing what the police have to say. Scroll down below and see the list of the best tweets from Lawrence and Topeka cities' police departments and don't forget to vote!

See? Everyone lends a hand! It's down right neighborly! They might even have a warm place for you to sleep tonight.
I once punched my ex. My kids grassed him up. He had been doing donuts in the local icy shopping centre car park, with my kids in the car while waiting for me to come out of work. I did not see him again after that. Not for lack of him apologising etc. Nobody does that with my kids in the car! Do it on your own if you wish, I can think of some people I would love to accompany you, but not with kids in the car. Especially when they are not your kids & their mother has a mean right hook!
Unfortunately, most employers don't care how hazardous the conditions are.
Some people are like Carl, who had to get a Slurpee and caused four accidents.
Maybe they did it to throw you off the scent? They will quietly leave in a week or two when people are less likely to suspect their new found wealth. Look for the guy that starts buying artisanal donuts instead of from their usual lower priced bakery. They won't be able to resist the lure of sweet glazed temptation....
Ah yes, the glorious war of insult between Police and Fire. We have both in the family, parties are interesting.
I used to warn my kids that "If you make me get out of my bath to come & deal with your nonsense, I will do it wet & naked & I will not be paying for your therapy!"
Please, would someone explain the TJler thing to me if you don't mind?
They are a troll that likes to be racist or just flat out rude

I feel like if more police departments acted like these guys there would be a lot less hatred and distrust for the police... at least they would be a little bit more approachable but unfortunately (at least in my area) the cops take themselves too seriously oh and they have a tendency to draw on their "routine traffic stops" also which is a little ridiculous to me.
These cops have a great sense of humor! You need an at least slightly twisted sense of humor to be a good cop.
gotta love an agency with a sense of humor! apparently Topeka & Lawrence PD are the funniest we've got out there
