Bored Panda spoke to Zuger Police, a Swiss police department based in the Canton of Zug, for a little insight on their daily lives fighting crime in this famously neutral and peaceful nation.
"Most of the equipment in our picture can be found in all of our police vehicles," a spokesperson told us. "For example forensic kits, breathalyzer test, photo case, 7 triopans, tourniquet, fire blanket, breathing mask, shoulder pads, helmet, luminous vest, first aid box, measuring tape, marking spray or a tow rope."
"In our 'doggy bus' there is also a dog bowl, a dog handler vest, a dog backpack and a dog cage which is installed in the back of the police vehicle."
"The police officers in the picture are both working for the security police. One of the police officers is also a dog handler. He's responsible for the training of the police dog Ike (in the picture). Ike is a guard dog."
"Currently 8 operational dogs are part of our police force. They are specialized as guard dogs, tracking dogs, narcotics-detection dogs or money-detecting dogs."
Zuger Police tell us that, on the whole, Zug is a peaceful Canton (a Canton is like the Swiss version of a state), and that crime levels are low. Swiss police do carry weapons however - part of all police equipment includes a pistol.
