Default Police Liaison Officer Armband

The style suggests WW2 but was this armband worn by a Policeman liaising with civil defence or an Air Raid Warden liaising with the Police?

Thoughts please.

for what it's worth...it certainly LOOKS war time.....and I'd go one further and suggest that a copper might not be a POLICE LIAISON OFFICER....'cos he'd be liaising with someone else...wouldn't he be the "Public Liaison Officer" or similar?...and then his/her counterpart in whatever service they were in be the "Police Liaison Officer"??

Although they did use "POLICE" in stuff like the "Police Auxiliary Messenger Service"....so what do I know....


"Conjecture" I hear you all shout....and you'd be right.....


Nice armband though either way.

Jon,

The title is still used to-day by certain officers who are deployed policing public order situations, marches etc. So, I believe your assumption is correct. (the policeman is there to act as liaison with other persons/agencies).

Dave.

On the subject of literal job titles, I was once seconded to Lambeth Council and was suprised to learn that they employed a Hate Crime Coordinator. A Hate Crime Disrupter might have been more appropriate.
