Default MYSTERY BADGES...HELP PLEASE!

Hello there,

I have attached two photos with a few items from my collection that I am struggling to identify with any certainty. If any kind members would care to help me I would really appreciate it. The badges are numbered to make it easier. Many thanks.

No:-17 is certainly not a badge associated with the Cheshire Constabulary or indeed any other UK police force.
