Avon and somerset constabulary uniform UK police

[olieatspies]

The uniform has already changed a lot since this

[Warlord795]

quick question. are the british royal guards able to make arrests like police officers?

[gavin911911911911]

@Warlord795 Don't know for sure, but I'd expect that if it's in order to help protect the royal family they could do just about anything.

[Warlord795]

@gavin911911911911 yeah but you never see them walking around with handcuffs or radios, usually all they got is a rifle

[gavin911911911911]

@Warlord795 A rifle is all they need I expect...

[Someloke8895]

@Warlord795 To answer your question. No the Guards are part of the Army (Infantry) and as such have no policing powers. Their role is to fight as infantry, or be on ceremonial duty. They protect the Queen and heads of state should a situation arise, and they are allowed to defend themselves from the public should they feel threatened. But they do not have any arrest powers or police authority.

They do sometimes help police in blockades around royal/important places

Regardless of how you came across these items, they are not yours. They are owned by the constabulary, since all equipment and items of uniform are issued to officers, but remain property of the police force. You could be looking at a charge of handling stolen goods.

[gavin911911911911]

@ivanleo These items have been declared obsolete and surplus by the police authorities from whom these items have been disposed of under agreement or contract and were sold with the consent of the Police Authorities and or by Ministry of Defence Disposal Services Authority and comply with regulations on the disposal of surplus police equipment and uniform items by Her Majesty's Government.

It's quite amazing how many police forces around the world have adopted the Scottish diced hat.

[Kraig00]

Why wouldn't you sell them to anyone in the UK if they are all legal?

[gavin911911911911]

@Kraig00

Because I don't want a full article of police uniform getting into 'the wrong hands', like someone who might impersonate a police officer.

Hi. The first patch that you picture is sewn on a black work jacket used by specialist officers such as Dog-handlers, District Training Officers, Communications Support etc. Hope this helps.
