This bunny got a badge.

A rabbit was given the rank of “wellness officer” at the Yuba City Police Department in California, just in time for Easter.

The hare-y tale began by the side of the road.

Last year, Officer Ashley Carson of the YCPD, which is about 40 miles north of Sacramento, found the lost rabbit on a local street and brought it back to the station.

After an attempt by animal control to locate its family was unsuccessful, a police services analyst adopted it and named the little cottontail Percy.

On Wednesday, the department posted the hoppy news of Percy’s new title on Facebook, describing the wellness program there, which is open to employees and their families, as “providing tools and resources to reduce stress and create a positive foundation for well-being.”

“Officer Percy lounges at the police department during the day and is a support animal for all,” the post said.

“Most enjoy his company, while some are still getting used to the idea of a rabbit being inside a police department.”
