Police officers wearing Father Christmas hats have been on patrol in the Philippine capital, Manila.
Santa cops!
Officials say the festive police force is being deployed in busy shopping areas to “maintain the peace” in the run up to Christmas.
The police are hoping that the move will bring them closer to the public. Residents are reported to be mostly in favour of the idea, as long as the officers continue to carry out their police work. [BBC]
I would love to see some santa cops in my city too; doubt that it would happen though.
