Community policing encompasses many activities, but a police officer from east Hertfordshire has taken building relationships with the public to new heights.
Sergeant Duncan Wallace was captured on film bouncing on a mini trampoline at a community event in Buntingford at the weekend.
If he was hoping to keep his session with Bounce Fit a secret, he will be disappointed – the video was shared by his boss, chief inspector Gerry McDonald.
