You've heard of Elf on the Shelf, now meet Pete on the Beat! Police officers at New York's 19th precinct repurposed the elf for a Christmas campaign by giving him a tiny uniform and putting him in all kinds of situations, from meeting the boss to giving Christmas safety tips to hanging Christmas decorations.
