He said his picture that went viral came as a surprise to him.
He told the hosts of the breakfast show that he was a real person and in fact not ‘a bot’ or an artificially generated model. And despite his smoking hot looks, he also denied rumours of being an undercover model.
“I am strictly into the police and saving lives,” he said.
The hot cop revealed that he is also a father, but you won’t find any dad bod here.
“I am not married, but I am a father of two boys. So, a single dad,” he told the radio station.
Officer Cox had thirsty mense reaching for their water bottles, with many requesting that he be ‘transferred’ to their areas.
On the Daily Voice Facebook page, his story attracted over 1000 likes and hundreds of comments.
One woman commented: “Oh well! I'm off to commit a crime 😁😁 Sjoe 🔥”
Another said: “I thank the Almighty that this guy is not a fireman🚒. If he were South Africa would be ablaze 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥”
And this user had everyone in stitches when she joked: “Take me asb even if it's for granted just take me Mr Officer😩”
