Which Banksy artwork depicts two police officers kissing?

Banksy’s artwork depicting two police officers kissing is titled Kissing Coppers.

The stencil shows two uniformed British police officers embracing and kissing. Banksy created the image in Brighton, England, where it appeared on the side of the Prince Albert pub in 2004. Its placement connected the work to Brighton’s reputation for LGBTQ+ culture and nightlife.

The mural was painted over several times because of weather, vandalism, and maintenance. The original location no longer displays the complete work, but sections and reproductions have remained important parts of Banksy’s commercial and exhibition history.

Kissing Coppers is often described as a comment on policing, public displays of affection, and social attitudes toward same-sex relationships. It is also sometimes confused with later Banksy images involving police officers, including works showing riot police or surveillance. The distinctive clue is the pair of officers kissing while still wearing their uniforms.
