Determined to overcome recent staff shortages, Kent Police today announced that they were to hold weekly séances in order to call upon the expertise of their deceased colleagues.
Their interest in the spirit world follows the recent fall in recruit numbers.
Inspector Halfwit said of the scheme: 'We're very keen to employ the services of these ex-policemen and hope that we can use their knowledge to solve some of our major crimes - frankly we're stumped. Also, the rewards for their good work will be purely spiritual so it won't cost us a penny.'
The force confirmed that they'll be advertising for a police spiritualist in the next few days.
