Can you understand this message from the police?

Police in New Zealand have tried a new tactic to keep people safe – they’ve already tried using shocking ads on TV, they’ve used clever and funny viral videos and now they’re hoping that a few smiley faces will get the message across.

Police departments are increasingly using social media to get their messages across – posting everything from updates on traffic to appeals for information to…. cute pictures of cops being wonderful.
