“The puppies’ mom, named Yellow, is in the K-9 unit [...] the department that [deals with] anti-drug and anti-bomb [issues],” a spokesperson told Mashable. “We will train the puppies to join our police duties.”

In case you were wondering (and don’t pretend you weren’t), the pups are named Lucky Star, Schumann, Feida, Brother, AJ and Full Moon. And according to a Facebook post by the NPA, these little pooches are as “innocent” as “newly born children” – but more than prepared for a life of fighting crime.

“We hope that, in the future, the puppies can be like their mother Yellow, that they can pass through training successfully and enter the police force,” it reads.
