Police Scotland are set to launch trials of a new crime fighting strategy that will see squads of angry geese keeping the peace on the streets of Glasgow. As a result of rising crime rates Glasgow's police force has felt under increased pressure to tackle violent and anti social behaviour leading to the recent decision to launch the geese police. There are hopes that this scheme could slash crime figures by up to 53%
The geese will be kept hungry and gaggles of the furious feathered crime fighters will be released at crime hotspots to round up troublemakers with honking, hissing, the flapping of wings and possibly the pecking or biting of offenders.
Critics of plans to police Glasgow's streets with angry geese have labelled the scheme "preposterous." and "bird brained" However, the Chief of the Geese Police - Goose handler Inspector Featherbottom is confident that the initiative will keep potential criminals in check. The Inspector recently enthused "Angry geese patrolling Glasgow's streets is the ultimate deterrent to criminals. The geese will operate a zero tolerance approach to violence and anti social behaviour and will attack those who overstep the law."
A similar initiative "Los Gansos Policia" was launched in Madrid in 2011 and has seen crime rates plummet in the Spanish city. The Geese Police will start patrolling Glasgow's streets later this year.
