“I decided against swiping right.”
The Tweet has since been received hundreds of retweets, likes and sparked a flurry of comments.
Dr Tidy later responded to other Twitter users, adding: "Makes you miss the good old days where folk placed dating ads in the local paper."
One person simply commented "What was he thinking….", while another said "That would put you off swiping for life".
Devon and Cornwall Police said they are investigating the photograph to establish whether it shows one of their serving officers.
The force said in a : “We are aware of an image currently circulating on social media that appears to show a partially clothed male in police equipment that is being used as a profile on a dating app.
“We are working with the Force Professional Standards Department and inquiries continue to establish if this individual is a serving police officer.”
