#ACTED AS POLICE OFFICER IN OLD BOLLYWOOD MOVIES VERIFICATION#
The Met said officers mostly patrol in uniform near their colleagues, but in rare occasions where a lone plain-clothed officer needs to engage with a lone female member of the public, apart from showing a warrant card, the officer will “proactively provide verification of their identity and purpose” by video-calling a uniformed supervisor in a police control room. Wiltshire Police have already announced a similar scheme whereby officers will put their personal radio on speaker and ask their control room to confirm their identity.

Sharing an example from Hollywood, he said: “Clint Eastwood has played so many of these roles (cop roles) like in Dirty Harry.” There is a tendency of people saying that ‘You are playing a cop again’,” he said.īut then he realised that “cop is something that you can play again and again”.
