With much of downtown Cleveland under security restrictions for the Republican National Convention, some members of the Georgia State Patrol made a cameo appearance on Twitter as they did their part to help keep things calm.
The Georgia Department of Public Safety tweeted a photo Monday showing some patrol members working with their counterparts from the South Carolina Highway Patrol.
“Troop E Troopers on the streets of Cleveland, OH at the RNC with SC Troopers. #teamwork #gatrooper” said the tweet.
About 500 Cleveland officers, roughly a third of the city’s force, will be assigned to convention duty, and they’ll be bolstered by 2,500 officers from other states.
