Macadamia County Police Department

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Police Chief Candice Kane is proud to announce that, effective Monday, all canine (K-9) officers of the police department will be retired. They will be replaced by a crew of equally well-trained kangaroos.

As a breed, kangaroos are known for their strength, having been trained to box for many years in Australia. This aptitude adapts well to the hand-to-hand combat training cadets receive in the police academy. Their speed is comparable to that of our canine officers, thanks to their ability to leap great distances. Kangaroos have to wear a minimum of gear, using the storage naturally available within their pouches. And many kangaroos have an imposing size, with some breeds exceeding 7 feet in height.

The inaugural unit of kangaroos, the KangaRegiment, has been trained to the same high standards of performance as the department's retiring K-9 officers. Each Rooficer (as these kangaroo officers are nicknamed) was individually selected from hundreds of applications from well-qualified Rooficer candidates. To be offered the position, the candidate had to measure between 7 and 8.5 feet in stature to present an intimidating physical presence. They had to outperform other candidates in distance leaping. And they had to show prowess inside the boxing ring.

We request that citizens respect these new police officers in the same way you did our K-9s: do not approach them or their human partner officer in a menacing way, and do not try to pet them without asking their human partner officer first. Remember, these are service kangaroos, and when you see them with their partner out in the field, they are on the job, protecting the citizens of Macadamia County.

Please join me in congratulating our new Rooficers and wishing our retiring Canines a well-deserved, restful retirement!
