ENGLAND - Police officers in England are standing tall, still and flat in the fight against crime. In order to scare away potential criminals, several cops have acted as models to provide their community with a batch of cardboard "cut out" police officers. Police feel the scheme will provide local community reassurance and improve police visibility. The phony figurines will be placed in crime hotspots throughout English neighborhoods. For local citizens in distress, they can only hope that the closest police officer hasn't been blown over by the wind.
