    In this context it means Police Constable. Although the. BBC have since changed the title to be “detective” instead now.

      Rightly so, as the article originally stated he was a detective and not a regular constable.

      Either way, using acronyms where they aren’t necessary, especially popular ones with multiple meanings, is a genuinely terrible idea.

      Thanks for sharing the article nonetheless.
