MORE than 23,000 British police officers and staff earn a second income from non-police work, a rise of nearly 20 percent in a year, a newspaper reported yesterday.
Second job titles include vicar, pole-dancing teacher, pallbearer, ski instructor, ice-cream salesman and medium, according to the Mail on Sunday report.
The newspaper cited figures from Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary, an independent police watchdog, showing that 23,043 police staff had second jobs out of a workforce of 201,575 in May.
Figures released by London's Metropolitan Police showed that the force included 104 part-time photographers, 60 entertainers including magicians, and 23 hair and beauty therapists.
Police staff are allowed to run companies or take second jobs if permitted by their superiors.
But 23 of Britain's 44 forces did not check whether they were paying for services delivered by companies run by their own officers, raising concerns of possible conflict of interest, the Mail claimed.
