UK Police Insignia

The main focus of this 1,342 page Adobe Acrobat book (free readers for various digital platforms available from Adobe.com) is to illustrate 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. There are 5,990 insignia pictures and 110 other illustrative pictures/photographs.

The 2025 Additions and Corrections - see 'UK 2025 Additions' on top right (menu item).

There was a cheaper version (previously only sold on eBay) where all pictures were at a reduced resolution - this has been discontinued due to lack of interest.

In the interests of space and file efficiency (i.e. fast response) a number of the insignia pictures (mainly helmet plates) are shown at half size (there are 993 half size and 131 not to scale) - the rest are full size. All measurements are approximate (note that most helmet plates were bent slightly to fit the contours of the helmet).

There is a full alphabetical index (see below). The text is fully searchable. Additionally, there are 2,600 links and 910 bookmarks to make getting around this book easy and convenient.
