FOLLOWING its debut at the Devon County Show in May, Devon and Cornwall Police is giving the opportunity for a lucky youngster to choose the official name of the newest addition to its fleet, a John Deer tractor.

The currently nameless tractor has been loaned free-of-charge to Devon and Cornwall Police by local agricultural machinery dealership, Masons Kings, is decked out in distinctive Police livery and proved a big hit with the young (and young at heart) show goers at the Devon County Show.

The tractor will be seen across various other agricultural shows and events across the region this summer.

Now the force is giving the opportunity for anyone aged 12 or under to pick the official name of the new recruit, joining its sister tractor at Dorset Police, which is appropriately named "Robo Crop".

Young people can enter online here.

The competition is open until midnight on Sunday, June 11 and the winner will be announced at the Woofstock Festival which is being held at Powderham Castle from June 16 to 19.

Police Constable Clarke Orchard said: “At the Devon County Show we revealed the new asset, and the response from the public was fantastic.

“As we expected, the tractor sparked lots of informative and enlightening chats with farmers from across the county, but one question that kept being asked surprised us, children wanted to know what the tractors name was. So, we have decided to throw it open to the kids of Devon and Cornwall, send in your suggestions and give the tractor its official name!”

Entrants must be aged 12 or under and have permission from their parent or guardian.
