We pity the fool who hasn’t seen this brilliant A-Team tweet by the West Yorkshire Police Dogs Unit

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... the West Yorkshire Police Dogs Unit.

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire… the West Yorkshire Police Dogs Unit.

One of the most refreshing aspects of Twitter it that it has enabled those in authority to have a little bit of fun on occasion while still using social media to help them do their jobs.

Our own Garda Siochana are a prime example, as are the CIA and although the West Yorkshire Police Dogs Unit aren’t on the same scale as either of those two (granted, the Gardai aren’t anywhere near the same scale as the CIA either), perhaps the best example of Twitter humour from an official police account we’ve ever seen came from the West Yorkshire Police Dogs yesterday.

Fans of the A-Team won’t need much of an explanation as to what makes this tweet so great, but for those of you who have never seen the show before (you really need to have a look at yourselves) the video under the tweet should help.

Don’t you love it when a plan comes together?

Hat-tip to Dave Higgins for sending this one our way
