Richmond police are investigating racy photos posted on a Website that show uniformed officers with young women outside nightclubs.

Police say the officers from Richmond and at least two other mid-Atlantic jurisdictions were unaware they were posing for pictures that were to be posted on the Internet.

A news release says the photos were taken during the winter months outside various nightclubs and the women asked to be photographed with the officers.

The department's professional responsibility office will determine whether there is any improper conduct on the part of the officers.
