Follow Police on Black Friday Via #DPDCalls

Black Friday in Dunwoody is more than crowded stores and leftover turkey sandwiches.

For the Dunwoody Police Department the busy shopping day after Thanksgiving is a hectic mix of fender-benders, opportunistic thieves swiping packages from doorsteps and shoplifters.

If you want to see what is going on around town but would rather stay home and watch football, you can follow the action on Twitter. Dunwoody Police officers are live tweeting today as they make the rounds across the city. Look for the hashtag #DPDCalls to track their Black Friday exploits.

Here’s a sampling from midday tweets:

• “Heading to foot patrol the mall. I swear I’m not shopping.”
• “Ummm... The mall is packed.”
• “Rolling through WalMart again. Just can’t pass this place enough. Bound to get a call here before too long. Don’t let us down”
• “Ol’ Officer Cheek cruising through the Dunwoody High School just to make sure...”
• “Back to Dunwoody Village Apartments in reference to suspect stealing delivered packages.”
• “Responding to the Jefferson to verify if the man in an AT&T hat and shirt selling AT&T service actually works for AT&T.”
