A disturbing video that shows catcallers harassing female officers has been condemned by police chiefs.  

An account on TikTok posted a brief clip from the officer while he was on patrol around London’s Piccadilly Circus. The message also asked followers for their help in identifying her to get him a date.

The footage, filmed on January 3 and uploaded by Luciano69969, was posted with the caption: ‘Tik Tok help me find this girl she sooo fine.’ 

As someone shouts “Oh My Goodness!”, a whistle is heard. At the woman.

Fellow social media users as well as police chiefs have criticised the clip. Some of their followers said that the man treated the officer “like a piece” and others said the same. 

A second commenter added that ‘I think the wolf whistle made her feel warm to me – this was quite uncool in the 70s. If I could be her, I’d pepper-spray you in the eyes. 

The Metropolitan Police hit out at the video, with Inspector Aiveen McManus of the Central West Command Unit, saying: ‘This sort of harassment is completely unacceptable. 

This kind of behavior shouldn’t make any women feel uncomfortable, no matter if they are police officers or not.

“My officers were deployed to New Year’s Eve. It was one of the most difficult days on the policing calendar. 

“I was proud to see them remain professional and focused in face of this provocation. 

“This woman was a female officer who worked hard to protect Londoners. She deserved greater respect.”

Spokesman for the National Police Chiefs Council added that police officers are dedicated to protecting and keeping the public safe every day.

“It’s never okay for anyone to abuse or harass someone for performing their job.”

The video shows a woman police officer looking annoyed that he is filming her, while a voice-over requests people help her find her. 

A female colleague pulls on the arm of the officer and then leads it away from the group cackling men.

The officer can hear a yob wolf-whistling as it walks off exclaiming “Oh my goodness!”

It was recorded in Piccadilly Circus, January 3. The video has received over 230,000 hits.

This is against the disturbing backdrop of increasing harassment of female officers in police.

TikTok users have started to do similar disgraceful things that have resulted in some being included in a compilation video.

The caption is “Roadmen flirting with female officers” and the laughing emoticon follows. It has been seen over 6622,000 times.

This footage shows men asking PC girls for their numbers, names, and one female being called PC Lip Filler.

Police chiefs reacted to the TikTok trend last month.

Hants Police Chief Ch Supt Raj Kohli said that the objectification of women was a problem facing society.

“This is a part of the spectrum which leads to violence against women or girls.

It is also unacceptable to place emphasis on those who help keep others safe.

“Those recording these videos ought to look closely at themselves.

“How would they react if their female relatives were treated so inhumanely?”

The spokesperson from the Police Federation said that harassment of women officers is unacceptable and extremely worrying.

It also presents a possible risk to their private life, and should be protected at their workplace. 

An Independent Commission on Policing report from 2013 found nearly half of all women interviewed had experienced harassment based on their gender.

A 2013 survey found that almost 25% of women officers working in England or Wales police said that they were victims to harassment.
