Officers posed for snaps with the telly actress, later posting them on their official Facebook page.
The post read: “When two of our officers, who just so happen to both be big fans of Emmerdale saw Amelia Spencer from the soap it was only natural for them to become ‘fanboys’ and ask for a photo with her.”
Daisy was seemingly willing to oblige, smiling happily in the snaps with the officers named Morgan and Riley.
