Default 'Police Force' buttons
Now even my short-term memory is beginning to fail me!!
Will some kind soul please remind me which uniformed organisation/s wore (and wear) this general pattern button inscribed 'Police Force'?
Recently found online but didn't write a note as intended to caption in due course and now for the life of me I can't recall details.
Thanks
GTB

These are "generic" and were worn by several forces here in the UK. They are still worn (with QC) by a considerable number of police forces in Canada, particularly in Ontario.

Thanks for that. But I recently came across a site, not specifically Police, in which these Police Force buttons were worn. Possibly something to do with a Service establishment but just can't recall which!

May have been worn by MoD Police at some time?

No, not that easy I'm afraid. Thanks, nevertheless.

Yes, you are correct. The MOD Police have never worn them. Their buttons have since formation featured the QC above EIIR.
