REGINA – RCMP in Saskatchewan have announced they are starting a new Police Cat Service Unit on April 1st that will work closely with the Police Dog Service.
RCMP believe that a cat’s natural hunting instinct, night vision and agility will make them a purr-fect fit for frontline police work.
“Frontline felines are a welcome addition to our policing services,” said Insp. Syl Vester, Officer in Charge of Police Cat Service.
“They bring to the table curiosity and confidence, which will greatly assist our frontline members in investigations.”
In the April Fool’s Day release by RCMP, Mounties say the cat will be employed with surveillance teams throughout the province and their long-term memory abilities will make them an ideal addition to the team.
But just remember – when you are looking for the first active cat on duty not too look too hard because RCMP are just having some fun for April Fool’s.
