China deploys elite gaggle of geese police

China - Police forces in rural corners of Xinjiang province have been sending geese officers out on patrol since earlier this year, according to a report on the Chinese language website of the state-run People`s Daily newspaper. The People`s Daily said the "sharp, keen and brave" animals were proving an invaluable tool in Xinjiangs war on crime and were now being actively promoted across the region. Law enforcement agents described the geese as a new "highlight of stability maintenance work" and said they had proved themselves "better than dogs" in tackling crime. "Geese are very brave. They spread their wings and will attack any strangers entering someone`s home," said Mr Zhang, the local police chief. More
