The San Diego Police Department has reportedly ramped up its social media presence in order to be better connected with the community it serves.
According to CBS News, the agency has pushed hard in recent weeks to post "light-hearted" and "heartwarming" images and videos to its social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to show civilians how many ways that police interact with the community in non-confrontational ways.
The agency recently posted an image on its Instagram page of Officer Vital Adrianni, who volunteered to watch over two toddlers as a single dad handled a family emergency.
The social media post concluded, "If someone needs help, we'll be there to respond!"
