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.
In an attempt to reduce the rate of drunkenness and drink driving as the Rugby World Cup gets underway, New Zealand Police sent out a 16-character tweet using emojis – can you decode the message?

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.
Hop along to the #RoyalMelbShow and say hello to our officers who will be out and about keeping everyone safe. pic.twitter.com/Sd86eS0m0U
