Most people see their local police as a strict and serious arm of the law, but every now and then it’s nice to see that, behind the badges and bullet-proof vests, they’re actual people, too.

There’s no better opportunity for police departments to let that personality shine than through their social media accounts, and while law enforcement is usually not a laughing matter, a few accounts manage to hit the mark when they get the chance.

One such account is that of the Edmonton Police Service, which has a habit of writing short poems, quoting dated songs, and making the occasional – and hilarious – pop-culture reference.

They were at it earlier this month, when 75 cars crashed in just four hours due to icy road conditions, which their Twitter account likened to Mario Kart:

Here’s how they reminded people not to drink and fly drive on Halloween:

And it’s clear that whoever is behind that Twitter account is certainly a fan of rhymes:

Not to mention their… interesting taste in music:

The Edmonton Police Service does have some competition, however, as the York Regional Police’s Twitter account has had a few gems, especially this video on why you should give a “puck” about those you share the road with:

And, of course, there are the times when police Twitter accounts are accidentally hilarious, like what happened in December for the police in Toronto:

The original tweet had stated that a naked male was being pursued by police near Woodbine Station, but the account had to make a correction as the man wasn’t completely naked…

Good on these accounts for having a sense of humour, even when dealing with such dangerous – and adult – daily subject matter.
