Undercover Joggers Arrest Catcallers

WORLD NEWS British cops wore jogging outfits to elicit catcalls and then arrested some men who hit on them: report By Shane Galvin Published Aug. 12, 2025, 6:35 p.m. ET From catcalls to the doghouse. Female cops in England went undercover as joggers, wearing tight-fitting clothes in a bid to elicit catcalls — and then arrested some of the men who hit on them, according to a report. The Surrey Police Department created a trial task force, which lasted about a month, and led to 18 arrests for offenses like sexual assault, harassment, and theft, The Telegraph reported. Officer Abby Hayward and another Surrey Police Department officer who went undercover as civilian joggers in a bid to catch sexual harassers were recatlted within their first 10 minutes. The female officers were sent during rush hour to "hot spots" where open sexual harassment of women is commonplace and pretended to be joggers, the report stated.

A screenshot of a World News article shows two female British police officers jogging undercover in tight athletic clothing. The officers allegedly used the operation to attract catcalls and arrest men who sexually harassed them, with the headline and phrase “From catcalls to the doghouse” presenting the story as an ironic news joke. It can be shared as a reaction to absurd undercover operations, exaggerated law enforcement tactics, or stories about catcalling and harassment.
