"Pawfficer Donut"

TROY, Mich. —

A suburban Detroit police department is giving another cat a chance to take the law into her own paws.
A cat named “Pawfficer Donut” was sworn in Friday by a judge, a day after a cat named Badges was removed from the Troy Police Department due to a serious illness.
Donut will be used for therapeutic purposes and public appearances.
Troy police pledged to add a cat if it could reach 10,000 Twitter followers for the idea. It took just eight days to go to 10,000.
