The department will be live-tweeting an entire shift Saturday in the north area of Sacramento County.
"From 3 p.m. until midnight this Saturday, February 9th, a member of the Sheriff’s social media team will ride along with deputies in the North area of Sacramento County and tweet everything that happens," the department said in a post on Facebook.
