Members of the sheriff’s department’s media relations unit will follow two deputies Saturday night and tweet updates, photographs and videos throughout the shift.
The purpose of the ride-along is to give people a better understanding of what a deputy sheriff does during a shift, according to Sheriff Adam Christianson.
