British Police 'Merit Badges'
I am writing a book on medals & awards issued to British police by local authorities (County, City & Borough) so welcome any information & images re these.
Also wish to learn more regarding 'Merit Badges'- metal and embroidered bdges issued for both 'Meritorious Conduct' (including Bravery) and badges issued to denote achievement of 'Merit Class' (generally exams, experience & time served putting an officer into various classes until they achieved 'Merit Class'). This often had pay rises included at various levels, and very often embroidered or metal badges issued to denote having achieved it.
Any info or images most welcome!!
