LINE of Duty is helping police recruit real-life corruption-busters.
The BBC drama is name-checked in recruitment ads for a new unit which will investigate links between bent officers and organised crime.
The Eastern Region Special Operations Unit asks: “Seen #LineOfDuty & #24HoursInPoliceCustody on TV recently?
“We’re looking for the best #detectives #officers & staff to join our teams.”
The ad for a Det Chief Insp to lead the unit even mimics the jargon which baffles fans of Ted Hastings and his AC-12 team.
It said: “There’s reason to suspect OCG (Organised Crime Gangs) are using CHIS (Covert Human Intel Source) to infiltrate police activity.”
