A llama has joined the force as a Chilean police station has added the furry and surprising new recruit. The animal completes shifts and heads out with officers on duty. Watch the short but hilarious clip to hear about one Chilean police station’s latest addition to their force.

The men and women who work in law enforcement are heroes. They bravely and selflessly put themselves in harm’s way for others every day. When everyone else is running away from an emergency, police officers are running toward the scene, looking for any possible way they can assist. They deserve all the gratitude, recognition and praise in the world.

In addition to helping during tragic and catastrophic situations, police officers enforce laws and maintain order. Step out of line, break the law, and you’ll likely find yourself interacting with one of those men and women in law enforcement. As one video posted on YouTube explains, if you break the law in one South American country, you might even come face to face with a llama.

Miguelito, a three-month-old llama, is now the newest and furriest member of a police station in Chile’s northeastern region. The animal was taken in by the police station when it was only a couple of days old, orphaned after its mother died after giving birth.

“Now, he’s old enough and strong enough to be part of the police force,” Sgt. Miguel Segura said.

However, Miguelito is more than a glorified mascot, and if you thought that was all he was to these officers, you’d be very wrong.

“Miguelito is now part of our family,” the sergeant added. “Because he goes out on rounds with us. He does shifts with us. He walks with us to the kitchen. He’s with us everywhere.”
