Hundreds of residents have signed a petition pleading with police chiefs not to take their popular bobby off the beat and put him behind a desk.
They say "action man" Sergeant Mike Friday will be wasted if he spends his time "filling in forms" when he could be making the streets safer in Hayle and nearby St Ives, Cornwall.
His role as neighbourhood police officer will be lost next year because of budget cuts, but more than 1,500 residents have signed a petition to stop him being switched miles away to become a custody sergeant behind a desk at Camborne police station.
Hayle's Mayor Cllr Nick Farrar described one incident that sums up why residents do not want to lose Sgt Friday.
