Out of New Zealand this weekend comes a new police recruiting video complete with a leashed police cat, a gyrating dancer, and a set of bloopers that run as the credits come on at the end.
A number of police departments — like Danbury, Connecticut’s — have been trying to stand out and attract a new generation of candidates through the offbeat, the eccentric, and the odd.
The New Zealand film is below. For more police-recruiting videos, some more serious than others, see Sioux Falls, Louisville; Ft. Worth; Myrtle Beach; Norman; Philadelphia; Midland; as well as one from a gay policeman.
