"Trying to broker this deal now: If we get 10,000 followers by April, we want a police cat. If you support this important public safety initiative, follow us & RT #BigGoals #PoliceCatAssociationofAmerica," the department posted.

While there were plenty of replies about how great a police cat would be and people offering to help the department find a cat, certain members of the Michigan State Police didn't seem very amused, particularly ones with tails and wet noses.

Stay tuned to see if the department reaches its goal and gets a new "officer."
