Honorary awards and memberships of professional bodies , Blue Peter badges etc, don't count.
It would be interesting to see this copper's business card or letterhead. I suspect he has a long list of attaboy post-nominals...
Just wondering why you think a Bachelor of Arts Degree awarded with Honours (BA(Hons)) is a honorary award, surely someone who has put in 3 / 4 years of hard work has the right to use post-nominals (p.s. no I don't have a BA(Hons), closest I get to the Arts is going to the Theatre).
In some industries (such as consulting) you are expected at least hold a bachelors degree, be Chartered, have relivent memberships (required to hold a charter), and be suitably qualified; as such, you may be required by your company to make sure you keep these up to date and demonstate them in your signature block.
