 Pc Rachelle Pantoja is being investigated by her force |
A policewoman who stripped off her uniform for a men's magazine is being investigated by her bosses. Pc Rachelle Pantoja has been put on restrictive duties and transferred to the traffic division after posing for a series of pictures in Zoo.
The 27-year-old from Sale is being investigated by Greater Manchester Police's Internal Affairs unit.
She had answered an advert in the magazine asking for people who work in uniform to appear in a photo shoot.
Restricted duties
A force spokesperson said: "After the force was informed about the photographs, she was placed on restricted duties away from direct contact with the public.
"An internal investigation by our internal affairs department has also been launched."
Ms Pantoja, who has been with the force for four years, is quoted in the magazine as saying: "I don't care what my bosses say.
"Nobody in the force knows about my modelling past, so this is my dark, dirty secret."
A police federation spokeswoman said it would not comment as an internal investigation was taking place.
