People are invited to tweet their questions, and answers will be tweeted for all to see, according to a State Patrol media release.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u201cI love going to Rotary and Kiwanis, and other events where I get to hear directly from the people we serve,\u201d Batiste said. \u201cThis is a simply a new way of doing what all good leaders should be doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Batiste admits it will be a challenge to answer questions in 140 or fewer characters, the limit set by Twitter.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u201cI have big hands, so I hope people will excuse any typos,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Batiste will be assisted by staff who will quickly research any detailed questions. About the only topic off-limits will be those concerning active investigations. Questions that demand more than 140 characters will be more fully answered on WSP\u2019s Facebook page.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n You can watch or participate in the \u201c#askWSP\u201d event by following @wastatepatrol on Twitter.
