Sgt Watts and off-duty Falmouth officers starred in the 'Gangnam Policeman' video in January, raising more than Â£10,000 ($15,000) in four days for a 12-year-old boy from Bury who was left with severe disabilities following an operation on a brain tumour. The video has now been viewed more than 108,000 times.

Sgt Watts said at the time that the team were "absolutely overwhelmed" by the support, adding: "I've never been so embarrassed in my life.

"Would I do it again? No! Will there be a torrent of abuse from certain quarters for us having demeaned ourselves like this? Yes!

"By showing the human side of police officers, we can gain the trust and respect of the majority of the public. Yes, there will always be those that will moan, but they are definitely in the minority."

Sgt Watts has more than 10,000 followers on Twitter, on which he describes himself as a "local policing sergeant in Falmouth, Cornwall. Interested in collaboration, tech, extreme sports and pasties". However, his tweets are now "protected".
