The King County Air Support Unit of the King County Sheriff’s Office has just signed on to Twitter to help alert residents if the crew is out on a call. Officials plan to Tweet when they are on calls so people in the neighborhood know what is going on, according to Sgt. Cindi West, spokeswoman for the Sheriff’s Office.
