Police cat proves you can fight crime, even if you sleep 16 hours a day
Police dogs are known for their speed, agility, and efficiency, but there are some jobs that a canine can't do, which is why a cat called Ed is the latest recruit keeping critter based crime in check.
The New South Wales arm of the Australian Police Force had a pest problem in the stables that cosily house their horse troops. That's how a cat, internationally renowned for their disdain for human interaction and utter annoyance at being disturbed mid sleep, came to be the first feline recruit to law enforcement it is no surprise that the police force in the Australian state of New South Wales decided to induct a felon-hating feline into the force.

Speaking with ABC Radio 702 Sergeant Kylie Riddel said Ed was called in for duty after he was adopted by a friend of an officer, to keep the rodent population in check at the troop horse stables.
The characterful cat has got a pretty good deal, with Riddell telling 702 "He (Ed) struts through, past all the constables while they're being given their daily duties. After that he patrols the stables while the grooms are mucking out. And usually after that, it's nap time." Riddell told the radio program.
Troop cat Ed is testament to the fact that even the smallest and constantly tired can make a difference in the community.
