    This Is What The Police Force In Iceland Is Like

    Must be nice to live here.

    With one of the lowest crime rates in the world, Reykjavík — the capital of Iceland — doesn't need much policing, leaving time for their metropolitan police force to do other things, like...

    Play with teeny tiny kittens...

    Comfort abandoned dogs...

    Interrogate parrots...

    Teach the skateboarding kids how to kickflip...

    Show off their pride...

    And pose for pictures in the weight room.

    It also allows them to capture the hidden gems of the country...

    Blow up a bouncy house for Family Day...

    And educate younger children with a hands-on show-and-tell in a real cop car.

    And when they're not improving their own cycling skills...

    They're setting up an obstacle course so others can improve theirs too.

    Plus, they love to take ice cream breaks...

    And breaks for cotton candy...

    Or stop at the local "hipster" coffee spot, which only accepts donations as payment.

    They also have fundraising bake sales...

    Feed the geese...

    Jam out in the car...

    Pose with fake mustaches...

    And hang out with the locals.

    And when they're not doing that, they like to lounge around...

    Get caught up in a good book...

    Make snow angels...

    Or drop everything to help push a rental car for a foreign traveler.

    And they, of course, like to take selfies.

    Yep, I'd say the Reykjavík metro police are probably the friendliest bunch out there.

    Now if only every country was like this.
