A German policewoman dubbed the most beautiful in the country has been given an ultimatum: choose between remaining in the force or an Instagram model.
Adrienne Koleszár, 34 years old, a police officer from Dresden, in Saxony, was named as 'Germany's hottest policewoman' in 2016.
She's since become an Instagram model and influencer. Her 557,000 followers praise her gorgeous figure and stunning bikini shots.

A career story beyond appearance
The interesting tension in this historical profile concerns two public roles and the expectations attached to each. A follower count or a beauty label tells us little about someone's work as a police officer. When revisiting the story, separate the reported employment dispute from the article's descriptions of appearance, and keep the December 2018 reporting date in view: ages, follower numbers and career decisions belong to that period.
The ultimatum and what followed
Koleszár grew up in Freital, Saxony, the daughter of a Hungarian steelworker and a German engineer, and worked as a clerk at the Saxon Development Bank before joining the police. In 2018 Dresden police granted her six months of unpaid leave, due to end on 1 January 2019, and she was reported to have until 10 December 2018 to decide. “I would like to do both,” she said, adding that she wanted “to find a middle ground that my employer can support.” A police spokesman said she had not yet decided about her future in the force. According to a 2021 Worldcrunch report, she at first stayed in the police and moved to desk work for health reasons, then left after a slipped disc. She went on to work as an influencer, podcaster and content producer.
