Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: An 1840s constable's uniform from the City of London Police, on display in the City of London Police Museum.
The original City of London uniform was blue, to differentiate from the red worn by the army. The collar was high and contained a leather stock to guard against garrotting (strangling with a wire or something similar). This was the most common form of attack against a police officer. These were removed from the uniform by the 1870s. |
