The "ER" on the head wear stands for, I believe, Elizabeth Regina, so does that mean when the Queen dies they change to CR? I only ask because when the police came about proper they had headwear with "VR" for Queen Victoria

Also - if you can think that far back - what sort of tests do you have to do during training? Written, like essays? Or multiple choice questions? (on paper, or on computer?) Verbal - like interview assessments? Or a combination of all of these? Or something else I haven't thought of! And would they be at regular intervals during the course, or only at the end? Sorry for so many questions....

Hi, they use mixed methods. Multiple choice tests, role-plays, and if you go through the PCDA route you will have essays and presentations too. These will be at the end of each module

I noticed this weekend in London the police were wearing baseball caps on armistice day. I’ve never seen them before and looks quite American? When did these come in. They look more practical than those big hats how ever not as much protection ?? Thanks 👮

Hi June, these are worn a lot when they may need to transfer into their riot helmets quickly, they often wear them at football matches too. The traditional custodian helmets would be difficult to carry in a public order situation, hope this helps

Hi Hayley, thanks for the informative video ! I had my uniform fitting yesterday and had quite a few questions that all sprung into my head afterwards! Things like: How much are you allowed to personalise your kit ? A better torch ? More comfortable trousers ? Also the taking kit home issue to wash and maintain, what are you allowed/not allowed to take ? Another that seems to vary from force to force is arriving to work in uniform or not ? I'm sure all will be explained at training but I don't start until Jan so rather eager for any information 😂😂😂

@@leeshellam3150 Sorry, what I meant is that you cannot buy your own trousers/uniform, you go with the ones that you are issued. However, in my 30 years service in the Met, we would take our issued trousers to a tailor as they were designed by a posh fashion designer and had 'flared' bottoms to the legs, so they were taken in. Our issued shirts were okay on the collar/neck but were like sacks on the body, so they were also slimmed down. But you have to wear the issued uniform. Yes you can get a much better torch but they can be expensive and are easily lost. We would take items of kit home for washing and maintenance, some did not care what they looked like. Yes, we travelled to and from work in half blues. But that would very much depend on were you worked (some areas it would not be a good idea) and if you were in your car or on public transport. Also remember you are a probationer and at the start it is best to go with what is provided/issued to you.

Does the training college have your measurements in advance? Or do they measure you for the first time when you go for the uniform fitting? If so, would this mean they have every size 'in stock' as it were? (what is the uniform store called?)
@hayleyvictoriacrime
Жыл бұрын
Hi, I went to the uniform place at the designated building when I went (a long time ago!!) They had every size in stock and these really long ones that they used to tailor for people with longer legs. I tried on their samples in my usual dress size and they took the uniform sizes from that, I'd say always go at least 1 size up in your trousers (they can split on the bum and it's a bit embarrassing) and there's no give in them so it's better to have some breathing room and stuff when you're running about etc. Don't go too big that you look like a sack of spuds though. Boots you have to source yourself if you are joining in a paid position, I'd recommend Altbergs in terms of reliability. Almost all the cops I know have these, my partner has had his 6 years and they still look good when polished! Hope this helps www.altberg.co.uk/ ☺️
