Obviously the government of New Zealand knows it's our arts and culture month because they've started using Banksy-esque street art to get young people to recruit into the police force.

Otis Frizzelli is the artist behind these pieces. He depicts four true NZ police stories and stencilled each one on a wall near the site where they actually occurred.

This is definitely a innovative and beautiful way to both serve as a memoriam for a tragic event that occured and advertising tool.

Would totally love if this kinds thing started popping up in US streets.
