Gibraltar Services Police
The renaming of the 'Gibraltar Security Police' to the 'Gibraltar Services Police' took place 27 November 1980 with a full parade when the standard police diced hat band was exchanged for a green and white band along with exchange of insignia. It was my error that I quoted 1982 in an my earlier publication. Please find images of the parade attached. The change was brought about so as not to confuse the SECURITY word with that of Spanish SECURITY police
Hope this this will be of help. Harry Wynne
