The former Only Way is Essex star turned radio and television presenter, 33, was spotted in Colchester on Saturday morning by a patrolling PCSO.
Wright stopped for a selfie with the delighted officer.
Officers maintaining the Essex Police – Colchester social media page said: “Whilst out on patrol this morning our PCSO’s did a bit of celeb spotting and found this friendly Essex chap.
“Despite the very British Summer weather that has now swept in the team will be out and about all over Colchester to provide some visibility and support to our residents.”
