He was seen laughing with colleagues as he tried out the trampoline

A police officer filmed bouncing on a trampoline in a Coventry garden while on duty has been put on an "improvement plan" after an internal investigation.

A video circulating online showed the officer jumping on the trampoline and then somersaulting while colleagues watched on.

It is believed that the West Midlands Police officers had been called to the address on a drug-related investigation.

The footage, filmed by a neighbour, is believed to have been taken on Friday, April 26, on Treherne Road in Radford.

Commenting at the time the footage emerged, Superintendent Jenny Skyrme, from the West Midlands Police Force Response team, said: "We expect our officers to have the highest standards in their conduct and behaviour and sadly, this appears to fall short of that.

"Our Professional Standards Department have been informed who will review the matter to determine if there is a breach of the standards of professional behaviour."

Following the conclusion of an internal investigation, the force said: "The officer received management action and was put on a performance improvement plan."
