Whether it’s in New South Wales, Queensland or the Northern Territory, Australian police teams have some serious Twitter game.
Here are some of their golden moments, to explain why.
1. When the New South Wales team brought out one of the oldest tricks in the book
Look what we found! pic.twitter.com/bNuFHdcgAq

It’s the ol’ look over there and schoolboy punching trick mixed in one – and for a good cause too.
2. The time Murdoch Police posted a stoner’s to do list
Are ur Saturdays hectic like this!!! To do list located at search warrant in Cooby. #MurdochLPT3 pic.twitter.com/KdpMbdEYMq
— Murdoch Police (@MurdochPol) April 30, 2015
This guy was clearly going places.
Despite huge social media attention for a small police team in Perth, the Murdoch team stayed humble as well.
Yes, the to do list was authentic, I don't think any of us here could make it up if we tried! #nosenseofhumour

3. When NSW brought out the Game of Thrones references
We don't mean to Drogon, but pls keep your Littlefingers off the phone if driving home. You'll pay the gold price if caught. #GameofThrones

4. When the NSW team (again) trolled 2 billion people
We don't mean to alarm you but FACEBOOK IS DOWN!!! How will we know what you ate for lunch!? pic.twitter.com/j3z6Uf4q13
— NSW Police (@nswpolice) May 9, 2017
Facebook has over 2 billion monthly users – and the NSW team clearly isn’t a fan of your food pictures.
5. When South Australia Police trolled their former Prime Minister
If your plans for #AustraliaDay look like THIS, you need an exit strategy. Don't drink and drive. pic.twitter.com/Gmgq9e7BHg

Bob Hawke was the Aussie PM from 1983 to 1991, and he’s now the ripe old age of 87 – so maybe he deserved a beer okay SA.
6. When the NSW team made a deep, meaningful Spotify playlist
Loving this playlist 🔥💯 pic.twitter.com/C3bGPiUBRq
— NSW Police (@nswpolice) May 17, 2017
Seriously, the New South Wales team are nailing this social media business.
7. When they realised the internet is all about puppies
This police pupper will be bamboozling bad guys in no time #pawandorder pic.twitter.com/9w6NSvQJD8
— NSW Police (@nswpolice) April 19, 2017
If there’s one thing the internet loves, it’s puppies – and by gosh New South Wales, you did it again.
Happy heckin' birthday to 14/10 good boy, PD Quake. #doinmeajustice #pawtectandserve pic.twitter.com/Zh6zUx9Dv0

9. When NSW made an exquisite pun from a classic by The Killers
PD Cobble.

PD Cobble’s out of their cage, and by golly they’re looking just fine.
10. When Victoria PD trolled Mondays – with a dog

11. When Western Australia Police called out someone’s hunger for chicken
Nandos Chicken is good but lives are put at risk every time you drive through a RED TCL, there simply is no excuse!!!#teg3 pic.twitter.com/myurrBcRwU
— WA Police Traffic (@WAPoliceTraffic) April 18, 2017
Nando’s is good – but not that good.
12. When Cockburn Police brought in the cavalry
School holiday proactive 'mounted' patrols at Gateway's. Keep your handbag safe or it could become a night'mare' if stolen #tougherforcrooks pic.twitter.com/F5h9fxVbmW

No laughing at the station’s name please – this team is from a little suburb in Perth.
13. When Mundaring Police messed with technology
We have detected another cold front fast approaching. Please drive to the conditions & have a safe Sunday. #weatherradar #FB pic.twitter.com/AG0BZwf5xC
— Mundaring Police (@MundaringPol) August 13, 2017
Difficult to decide if they were messing with a speedometer or Windows Paint.
Okay, probably Paint…
14. When York Police had absolutely no chill
Jokes aside, meth WILL ruin your life, your health and your finances. Dob in a dealer and get this poison off our streets.1800 333 000 #fb pic.twitter.com/UIQEfOAipp
— York Police (WA) (@York_Police) July 7, 2017
Yep. They did this. Seriously.
Bonus round: When Queensland Police maybe got a little try-hard
Don't lose your cool in the heat, keep it chill like Mr Freeze. But don't be a super villain, that wouldn't be (n)ice to see. pic.twitter.com/BtCHwJOGik
— Queensland Police (@QldPolice) February 9, 2017
That’s enough from you now Australia.
