ITV's 'Piglets' Faces Backlash from Police Federation

Comedy series title criticized as offensive and inflammatory by police representatives

The show, set in a police training academy, uses a term historically derogatory to police officers.
Police Federation leaders argue the title undermines respect for officers and incites negativity.
ITV defends the title as a comedic, endearing reference to the youth of the trainees.
The series is created by the team behind popular comedies Green Wing and Smack the Pony.
Police Federation plans to formally demand a title change from ITV.
