A female police officer who stripped off her uniform for a magazine has quit the force.
Greater Manchester Police launched an investigation after 27-year-old Pc Rachelle Pantoja posed for a photo-shoot in Zoo magazine.
The cop, who was pictured in her white police shirt before peeling off to her underwear, has now handed in her notice.
The wpc told the magazine: "I don't care what my bosses say. Nobody in the force knows about my modelling past, so this is my dark, dirty secret."
Ms Pantoja had been a police officer for four years.
After the pictures were published she was transferred to the Traffic Division and put on restricted duties.
A force spokesman said: "Greater Manchester Police have received official notification from Police Constable Rachelle Pantoja of her intention to resign from the force."
Ms Pantoja posed for the 'Real Copper Strips' feature after answering an appeal in the magazine.
She told the magazine she wanted to have silicone implants to look like a page 3 model.
