A cardboard anime figure dressed in the RCMP’s iconic Red Serge uniform turned heads at a recent recruiting booth, but the police agency says the prop was not part of its recruitment strategy.

The cutout appeared at the RCMP booth during the Japan Canada Festival in Toronto earlier this summer, drawing attention online for its unusual depiction of the national police. The character in question is the virtual Japanese pop star, Hatsune Miku, who was created by the company Crypton Future Media.
