The modern British police uniform commonly seen in the North West and Wales typically includes a black, fitted tactical shirt and trousers designed for practicality and mobility. Officers often wear high-visibility yellow jackets, especially in public or traffic-facing roles, with reflective strips for safety. Headgear varies, with male officers wearing the traditional custodian helmet and female officers often in a bowler hat, both of which display the force's emblem and the Queen’s Crown. Many officers also wear black stab-proof vests, fitted with body-worn cameras, radios, and additional pockets for equipment. This uniform blends tradition with modern utility, emphasizing both the recognizability and functionality necessary for contemporary policing.
