It happened in Troy, Michigan, where the police department pledged to get a police cat if they could hit 10,000 Twitter followers. They accomplished this in eight days, and then called the Michigan Humane Society which brought five felines to the station for auditions. After selecting the cat they held a name contest on Twitter. Names with the highest votes were Pawficcer Donut (34%) and the winning name, Pawficcer Badges (40%).
Sgt. Meghan Lehman tweeted, "We love the name. The cat will start her duties on May 11. She will be officially appointed by Judges Hartig and McGinnis of our local District Court. We thank everyone that supported this initiative, and look forward to getting the cat involved in many outreach projects." She will also be in charge of supervising the K-9 unit.
