I can't work it out...
Using an online anagram calculator, the only words in the English language that fit the second part of the clue are "shook", "shonk" and "shoon".
But of course the answer is probably someone's surname or nickname, so that doesn't help...

Chances are the answer is related to the racing industry, which I don't follow very closely, so I'm not going to spend any more time on it.

The second name doesn't necessarily have to have 5 letters though (from the clue they've given there's nothing that states it's only 3 letters from one word and 2 letters from the other).

BTW, Im stumped aswell lol

Yeah, I realised that later...

As for people who wear badges, maybe police officers? What are some famous duos that have appeared in police movies/TV shows?
