This 1,342 page Adobe Acrobat book (i.e. digital only) illustrates the insignia of the past and present police forces of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Great Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales. Also included are the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands (which are British Crown dependencies and not formally part of the UK). The southern part of Ireland became quasi-independent of the UK in 1922; so southern Irish police forces after that date are not included.
