Manila metro police yesterday (Dec 2) launched its Santa Cops program where some 200 police officers would be wearing the Santa Claus hat while on duty (until Jan 2).
The Santa cops will be deployed in malls, markets, and busy public areas in the capital city of the Philippines to maintain peace during the festive season.
The concept was introduced a few years ago to portray a friendly image and to bring the cops closer to the public. The idea is probably well received by the Manila people considering the fact that the metro police is making it an annual routine.
I wonder how it feels to be stopped by a Santa Cop (not that I want to find out)
this is really interesting! lol :) i wonder how the people think bout this?
They should put on a smile. =)
HoHoHo!!! the santa cops don’t look happy.. bad boys be warned lol.
they aren’t as happy as the santas….cuz they’ll be working till christmas day….they’ll be santas to the public but are away with their families….
but it feels safe to go on shopping when you see them!:))
even the traffic enforces here in the Philippines wear those hats. hehe nice nice
