Hi guys and girls,

Can anybody tell me who would have worn this police cap badge, please?

I am guessing the National Crime Squad?

Thanks

Phil, I am after this badge aswell, it is on my wants list. I believe it was worn by British police officers in Bosnia, Croatia etc when attached to the UN instead of there own force badge.
National Crime squad, SOCA and the like are mainly in plain clothes- sneeky beakys

Gents,

It was not worn as a cap badge. It actually has pins and clutches on the back and was worn on epaulettes. Caps are not worn by UK officers on attachment to the UN. They wear berets and the UN generic badge.

It was also worn as an epaulette badge by UK Civil Police Officers working at the Police Academy established south of Basra (Az Zubayr) in S.Iraq in 2004.
