Police officers filmed using riot shields to sledge down a snowy hill while on duty have been reprimanded.
The footage of a group of officers on Boars Hill, Oxford, was taken by Rick Latham on Tuesday.
Mr Latham said they were only there for a few minutes and praised the officers for having a "sense of humour".
Supt Andrew Murray said those involved have been spoken to and advised that their actions were a "bad idea".
"I have spoken to the officers concerned and reminded them in no uncertain terms that tobogganing on duty, on police equipment and at taxpayers' expense is a very bad idea should they wish to progress under my command," Supt Murray added.
But the local policing area commander added that the snow had "a habit of bringing out the child in all of us".
