The Greek government has decided to rent out its police officers as security guards to businesses and private individuals as a way to deal with its debt problems.
The police announced on Monday that officers may be hired to provide protection services, such as escort for people transporting works of art or large amounts of money.
Prices start at about 40 dollars an hour for a single police officer and 65 dollars for an officer with a police dog. If the job requires a helicopter, it will cost about 2,000 dollars.
The police said the rent-a-cop service will not interfere with officers' official duties.
Proceeds from the private hirings are expected to help make up for large cuts in the police budget.
Do they get paid in baklava?
