MANITOWOC, WI (WTAQ) – After being hacked about a month ago, the Manitowoc Police Department is now back on Twitter and is asking the community to once again follow them.
Police say someone took control of the account with the handle @ManitowocPD in early October and sent out several inappropriate tweets before it could be shut down.
Officials with the department took steps to ensure the account is more secure and reactivated it. They sent out their first tweet from the new account Nov. 10.
Manitowoc police say they use Twitter to distribute alerts and information to the community and media.
