A police officer who was filmed jumping on a trampoline while on duty is facing an inquiry.

The video, recorded in Coventry, shows the uniformed officer bouncing on the trampoline and attempting a somersault, as The Sun first reported

West Midlands Police said the officer had been referred to its professional standards department.

Supt Jenny Skyrme said the force expected officers to have the "highest standards in their conduct".

"Sadly, this appears to fall short of that," she added.

The officer was caught on camera on Friday after what is believed to have been a drug-related investigation.

He removes his kit belt before jumping on the trampoline as a colleague watches on.
