Sometimes even the "boys in blue" seem almost human.

DMfM presents the blog of the Arcata Police Department.

The style is quirky to say the least. Here's a couple of recent excerpts:

Only the resident didn't really like their front lawn being peed upon. Soon, police cars were parked at angles at a nearby car wash, and a young woman in the saggy whizzard's company was found to be in an altered mental state.

3 p.m. Six travelers with dogs lay a-sprawling On someone's front lawn, who went calling The cops to respond They flushed vagabonds Whose hubris was somewhat appalling.
