The world’s greatest name for a police officer
Viewers from across the world have showed their appreciation of an Avon and Somerset police officer’s name.
PC Rob Banks featured in a special programme on the impact budget cuts have had to police forces.
During his interview, viewers managed to spot a pun in his name that was only visible for a few seconds.
Seth Darby – from Australia – was one of the first to tweet the image, and quickly saw his post shoot up to 11,000 likes in just a few hours.
After realising how quickly it had spread Seth made sure some good came out of his tweet. Asking people to donate to Alzheimer’s UK.
The programme was dedicated to understanding the impact that budget cuts have had to police forces across the West country.
It’s after officers in Avon and Somerset told ITV News their force is at “breaking point” after years of cuts.
At a time when the public are being asked to pay more for their police, PCs, sergeants and senior officers revealed there were insufficient numbers to cope with rising crime levels – which has led some to consider quitting.
Although some viewers found a more light-hearted quirk to PC Rob Banks name, his message was extremely serious.
