The cat dressed in a police harness had its pictures posted on the Vaud Police’s Facebook page. The point of the post was to use April fools day and a cat in uniform to remind people not to believe everything they see online and maintain a degree of skepticism. So don’t expect to see drug sniffing cats anytime soon.

One piece of advice given is to go directly to official websites to verify if the information is true.

Cocteau said “si je préfère les chats aux chiens, c’est parce qu’il n’y a pas de chat policier” “I like better cats than dogs, because there are no police cats”. He got it wrong now. Soon we will have police rats.
