Via Magpie and Cake (the only remotely crafty blog I’m currently reading), police in an Indian province are airing a new strategy for crime fighting and community relations:
Police in India’s Western state of Gujarat are to wear new uniforms impregnated with the fragrance of flowers and citrus to help improve their image.
“Most policemen look hassled, drenched in sweat after coming from any scene of crime,” said Somesh Singh, a designer at the National Institute of Design in Ahmedabad that drew up the uniforms on request of the state government.
As one of the Magpie and Cake bloggers suggest, “the Mounties should get maple syrup scented uniforms.” That’s some sugary law enforcement.
