BRITISH INDIAN OCEAN TERRITORY
Brought at Chatham today-10/07/22.
A BRITISH INDIAN OCEAN TERRITORY new metal cap badge with maker mark TKS on the slider. I have hunted for one of these for some time and was offered it today. I believe it is worn by BIOT police on Diego Garcia who are either Royal Navy and/or Royal Marines personal. engr9266 Jerry

Very nice Jerry, well done. I wrote to them many years ago, but although they couldn't spare me a badge I got a nice letter back which I still have.

British Indian Ocean Territory
These days members of the Royal Military Police (RMP) and the RAF Police can also opt to serve in BIOT alongside their colleagues from the Royal Navy and Royal Marines.
I attach a selection of photographs that may be of interest. Pete
