West Midlands Police, UK News .West Midlands Police is being investigated after jokingly filling out a witness statement in the name of a force dog and signing it with a paw print.

The matter arose after the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) requested a statement from one PC Peach - apparently unaware the "officer" was actually a four-year-old police dog.

According to the Daily Mail, officers became exasperated with the requests - which continued despite explanations PC Peach was in fact a hound - so they complied.

*G&B Editorial Note: We don't see what the problem is. A cop did his job by taking out the trash, filled out the paperwork and is now getting razed for having a messy signature?

Ah, bureaucracy. What would we do without it?

And then Officer Peach piddled on the paperwork because he hasn't been station-trained yet.
