@ dangermouse : about the ARUs wearing ties... thats very old now mate , they should have the sweat wicking polo shirts with the departments logo on eg northumbria or west murcia.
Old as it may be, there are still forces that issue.. and wear! the shirts and ties. Navy blue shirts are worn by Firearms and usually Dog handlers in these forces.
I can vouch for this.

Re: ARU Police loadout
about 2-3 years ago northumbria trialled these new shirts and they were passed through as they were much better than regular shirts due to being durable and able to throw straight in the washer , the material is similar to that on a UBACS but in black. as i said this was 2-3 years ago when we were first issued them and they were going on standard issue for everyone and our ARU wears them 100%
lad on the right has one on
police on the arms and the forces crest on the chest

Re: ARU Police loadout
what im saying for the point of the thread is a black polo is still kosher and more practical than a shirt , in your area they still might wear the cotton shirts but you should be getting the polos sooner or later

Re: ARU Police loadout
Your post made it look more like you were saying they were outdated and not worn generally any more.

Re: ARU Police loadout
Some forces don't even issue the fleece, and are still on woolly-pullys.
The idea of a 'National Police Uniform' is a bit of a joke really.

Re: ARU Police loadout
That's what this loadout has been built for in fact funnily enough. You'll have to let me know who you are at the game

Actually Northumbria Police have white shirts too, as well as the black tshirts. The black TShirts are not polos they are 100% Polyester and made by Keela. I wear one under my vest at Marrs. Only difference is mine is unprinted but it came directly from the stores at Ponteland HQ.
Northumbria also wear heavy duty combat trousers with the black tshirts, and white shirts are dressed with formal black trousers, however you are unlikely to see the white shirt officers because they are mostly worn by Inspectors and above.
The older wooly pullys are also in Northumbria still and prove to be a hit with the detention officers, custody officers and general police staff.
The black tshirts were also not rolled out UK wide, the uniform of the force is decided by the Chief Constable and the chief officers, many forces opted for them though because they are more comfortable and more practical for the job.
Chief Constables also decide what weapons their AFOs carry. Northumbria carry Glock 17 (9mm), X26 Taser and the MP5. The glock is mounted on a fobus style thigh holster with lanyard, the taser mounted the chest rig and the MP5 is in a 3 point sling.
All AFO officers in Northumbria Police are SGTs too, not sure about all forces but as one told me this morning "you have to be a SGT to be in firearms".
To which I replied "get a SIG you wuss", which he smiled and said "nah thats humberside"
For my work I'm in Northumbria police stations for about 4 hours everyday and they're all like little kids messing about all the time.

This advice is good though...had no idea there was so much to handcuffs!
All forces now use the Safariland (Formerly Hiatt) Speedcuffs, there also many different ways to stick em on inc single hand cuff control.
Also from first hand experience (not arrested (was helping the trainer)) they F**KING HURT!!!!

The light is discretion they can choose to have it on or off. Their kit changes all the time for comfort reasons though. But they were having a meeting this morning at a north east Command, they were pretty tooled up. They were putting a Hooligan in the car as I went out to the van. Tooled up or not though didnt stop me having a go at them. LOL

Rams are fooking heavy. Only ever had to use one once.
One of my younger brothers is SYP CID. When he was in uniform a few years ago he was the one with the ram when they raided a drug dealer's house. The dealer was apparently sprawled out on the bed, clearly having "sampled" a lot of "product", yet offered to attack my brother, still carrying the ram, with a samurai sword that was apparently hidden under his bed. My brother, armed with said ram as well as the standard SYP issue weapons-grade sarcasm, "politely" suggested to him that if he even looked at any officer in a funny manner then the dealer, the bed, the sword, the ram and on top of it all my brother would all be going through the floor into the kitchen underneath.
Later searches found the samurai sword, described by my brother as "a big f***-off shiny b*gger". The dealer was apparently so mashed that he had trouble getting up off the bed, so they reckoned it would have taken him a good half hour to get to his hidden sword.
