Carson sheriff starts Twitter account
The Carson sheriff's station has tapped into the "Twitter" social networking site to disseminate important information to the public.
"We believe we have an obligation to get information out to the public by whatever means is available," Sgt. Russell Shapley said. "Traditional media releases oftentimes take too long. By creating a Twitter account, we can avail traffic information, crime updates, Amber Alerts, or query the public for help in locating suspects almost immediately."
To find the Carson account, log on to "www.twitter.com" and follow "Carsonsheriff."
