The centre one is that old Jewish chestnut - not! it's Trinidad and Tobago Police!

The first one was worn by all of the Scottish regional police forces from their creations in 1975 until merged into the national 'Police Service of Scotland' on the 1st April last year, and is still worn today by that force. Value: - I've just bought one for £2, so £2 to £5 would be fair.

The centre one is, as has been said, from Trinidad, though I'm not familiar enough with the history of the force to know when they became "and Tobago Police". Value, in my opinion, around £14 to £18. I would be interested if it was to be offered for sale.

The ROC badge has been covered.

Graham is correct regarding the Scottish Police badge information and I can confirm that the police in Trinidad are known as the Trinidad & Tobago Police and have been since the late 1800's when the Tobago Police merged with the Trinidad Police.
