The Karachi Police provided entertainment fodder for Twitterati on Wednesday, with its announcement to launch a skater police force, initially comprising 10 female and 10 male police personnel on skates.

Videos circulated by the police department depicting police personnel gliding on skates, taking aim at pretend targets, were soon improvised by social media users with soundtracks and other such gimmicks adding to the hilarity. The cops, however, say they have a plan.

According to the police, the personnel on skaters will come under the Special Security Unit, and will catch criminals who evade arrest benefitting from traffic jams, roadblocks, and the like.
