Hey, Steve! Breaking out my actual named account, which I never use. Great initiative on the AMA.

For the lulz: What's the most incredible/ridiculous/hilarious thing you've received via the social media channels you manage?

For srs: What's the hardest decision you've ever had to make as a police officer?

And because I said I would: one horse-sized duck or a hundred duck-sized horses?

AMA?! AM I DOING DRUGS RIGHT NOW STEVE THIS IS ENTRAPMENT

Great personal answer, but I'm curious - do all the officers get this information and training? I get "media and public relations" refresher training annually - do the police have similar courses that remind them on what they can and can't do, say, rights in/of public, etc.? I've seen a lot of videos of police threatening citizen photographer/videographer bystanders - mostly in the US - and think this is an important issue.

You would pepperspray a duck-sized horse? YOU BRUTE. Think of the children.

That for srs answer sounds rrrl srs. I'm glad you made it out okay and ended up getting the guy.

Love that I can be ridiculous with the @KingstonPolice Twitter account (and pretty sure I was before I even met you in person), it adds so much personality and fun to the presence.

Members of the public are encouraged to talk with officers they see. The officers will be there to interact with the public, and will be more than happy to speak with you.

+1 to this - I've struck up random conversations with strangers (some of whom I didn't know were police since they weren't in uniform at the time, such as at a bar) and all of them have been really affable. They all seem to have a good sense of humor and are down to earth Kingstonians - at least the ones that I've met!
