Vermont police department hire French bulldog to join their feisty force and assist kids going to school in the most wholesome way: 'He is our tactical potato'

We've all seen those big, scary-looking police dogs at the airport or on the streets before. They look like policemen (or women) themselves - dressed up in their pawlice dog uniform, perfectly behaved, and always on the lookout for mischief to stop. But in Vermont, they're going a slightly different direction with their newest addition to their animal force, and this direction is smaller, cuter, and snores like a 70-year-old man. He's a French bulldog, and he's their "tactical potato".

That title isn't just referring to his shape; his vest actually says 'TACTICAL POTATO' on it. Now, you might be asking yourself, "What is the job of a tactical potato?" Well, apparently, he helps kids on their way to school, and he takes his job very seriously. He also helps eat the office snacks, but that's more of a hobby than a profession. 

Technically, he's more of a volunteer than an employee, but ask anyone who's met him and they'll tell you that he's the finest pawlice dog they've ever met. We're pretty sure all the parents of this Vermont town can sleep easier now that there is a pawfessional potato helping their kids get to school in the most wholesome way. We certaily would.
