Police dogs are known for their ferociousness, but there are some jobs that a canine can't do. Enter Ed — the latest recruit keeping cat crime in check. 

It all started when police in New South Wales, Australia recently had a pest problem in the horse stables that cosily house their horse troops. The cops enlisted the cat to keep vermin away from the Sydney Mounted Police, according to Sergeant Kylie Riddell. Now she's part of gang.

The nap-loving cat has got a pretty good deal it seems. Riddell told 702 ABC “"He (Ed) struts through, past all the constables while they're being given their daily duties. After that he patrols the stables while the grooms are mucking out. And usually after that, it's nap time." 

Troop cat Ed is testament to the fact that even the smallest and constantly tired can make a difference in the community.
