They hated that I quit police for racier job’
A former police officer who quit Hertfordshire Constabulary for Babestation says her religious family did not react well. Summer Fox has lived in Britain for 13 years but she is originally from America where her father and brother are both pastors.
And having such strong religious family ties caused tension when Summer, 31, told her loved ones she was quitting her dream job as a cop to return to adult work.
The phone sex babe, whose stage name is Summer Fox, said contact with her father stopped for a year after she made her decision.
Speaking to Daily Star, she said: “He was still a pastor but he has been retired a year now. When I joined the police he was really proud of me and he put it all over Facebook saying ‘oh yeah she is in the police and well done really proud of her’.
“And then when I went back to webcam it was a bit like ‘oh…’ He went from me being something he was very proud about and telling everyone about to me going back to the webcam industry.“
She added: “So for my dad it was uncomfortable for him because he was a pastor and he is talking about God and the religious side of stuff and then he has to be like ‘yeah my daughter does porn and that is OK’. It was hard for him to deal with but he did become more understanding – it took him a while.”
Despite advising her of the consequences of digital footprints, he came to the conclusion that if her daughter was happy with how she was earning money then it wasn’t his place to judge her.
However, Summer became somewhat the black sheep of the family and said embracing the adult industry and having a large public following was not appreciated by other members.
She explained: “I think my sister and my brother are still not 100% happy with it but I haven’t really spoken to my older brother for about three years. He is a pastor as well and he wasn’t really happy with the webcam stuff and doing the porn. But if I ever called him up I am sure he would talk to me but I have just never come round to it.”
Summer previously told us how she temporarily quit webcamming to follow her lifelong ambition of becoming a police officer – something she wanted to do ever since she was eight-years-old.
She passed her exams and landed a job as a Police Constable at St Albans where she responded to 999 calls. But after two years the West Ham United lover decided it was not for her.
“It wasn’t really what I expected,” she said. “I wanted to go and catch criminals, all the good stuff basically. But where I worked there was a lot of traffic calls and you would get domestics and stuff. But I wanted a bit more action because you see in the States where it is always lively.
“I just thought it wasn’t for me and the pay wasn’t as good as you’d think it would be and I sort of missed the webcam stuff and that is how I ended up leaving the police. It is the flexibility for me and I just love being able to be my own boss.”
Summer remains proud of her time in the police and said she tried to make members of the public feel at ease in her presence and to restore trust.
She added: “The thing I miss about it is helping people and making them feel comfortable that they’re safe and that they are being heard.
“If you go on the street and ask people what they think of the police they’ll say they don’t trust them because of the stuff that’s obviously been in the news about officers. But I wanted to be a police officer where people would come up to me and they knew they could trust me. So for me it was a way of doing good.”
She now uses skills developed as a copper for her Babestation shifts – and a lot of her calls are not as kinky as you would imagine.
The raunchy model said many blokes dial up asking for relationship advice or to talk about problems in their personal lives – similar to encounters she had when out on the beat.
Summer added: “You have to be able to listen and give advice because in the police I saw that as counselling as well. Most of the call outs would be domestics but you are trying to make peace between the two.
“A lot of the time it will be arguing and it is a case of trying to resolve it and try and sort the problem. So it’s very much the same in that aspect, the verbal stuff and how to speak to people. But obviously the police is different!”
