Both chin straps can be folded up inside the helmet when not in use for more strenuous activity. Most officers choose not to use the chin strap for day-to-day duties. They are responsible for attending to and controlling road-related incidents, whether minor or serious. Therefore, it is incredibly important to be visible as traffic police often work in potentially dangerous environments by managing traffic and clearing incidents. Many collisions occur on motorways due to the high volume of fast-moving vehicles. This, therefore, provides a potential danger for traffic police when dealing with accidents. The police hat is an easily distinguishable part of the police uniform with its helmet shape and unique badge on each hat. It first became essential wear for police officers in 1829. What started as a top hat, impractical and heavy, evolved into the police hat that we recognise today. The England international proved to be an integral component of United's rebuilding process after Munich, plying his trade across the field while the rest of the side was constructed. A permanent switch to a deep-lying forward role brought the best from him, and he was vital as Busby's men won league titles in 1965 and 1967.

Until the mid-20th century, British-style helmets were in use with the municipal police forces of several Dutch cities, most notably The Hague. [39] [40]

However, traditional custodial helmets are still to be worn for ceremonial duties.

The introduction of baseball caps hasn’t occurred without criticism from the general public, who have compared police officers to ‘Burger King workers’. As a result, some police forces have decided to revert the decision and return to the standard custodial helmet whilst other, more appropriate gender-neutral headwear has been decided upon.

Retrieved 27 December 2016– via The Constabulary.The traditional cork construction often led CID personnel to call their uniformed colleagues "woodentops" (the name of a children's TV programme). A comb and crest, a ball or a simple helmet boss adorns the top of the helmet whilst some forces used to have spikes on top. A thin chinstrap keeps the helmet on with some helmets having an additional double strap with chin cup for more strenuous activity. The custodian helmet is the headgear traditionally worn by male police constables and sergeants while on foot patrol in England and Wales. [3] Officers of all ranks in most forces are also issued a flat, peaked cap that is worn on mobile patrol in a vehicle. Ranks above sergeant wear the peaked cap only. However, some inspectors wear the custodian helmet, but with two silver bands around the base (to match the two pips worn as rank insignia) to denote their position. [4] West Yorkshire Police states that ‘Headwear must be worn at all times when performing duty outside.’ Although this can be removed in a vehicle or in times of an emergency. The role of women in the police has largely taken a different path from men. Women were first employed by the police as Police Matrons in 1883.

In June 1984, Charlton became a director of Manchester United. Ten years later, he was knighted, having previously been awarded the OBE and CBE. In 2016, Old Trafford's South Stand was renamed the Sir Bobby Charlton Stand. Although winning the World Cup is seen as the pinnacle of achievement in football, Charlton’s finest hour at club level came in May 1968 when he captained United to European Cup glory at Wembley. He scored twice in the 4-1 final win over Benfica but famously missed the post-match celebrations, instead conducting a solitary remembrance of the friends he had lost in the Munich tragedy 10 years earlier. Certain Italian municipal police forces use a white custodian-style helmet, particularly in open air duties, such as when directing traffic. The New Zealand Police retained a white version of the custodian helmet until the 1990s. The same helmet was used by the Samoa police, who still make limited use of it. The Toronto Police Service discontinued regular use of the helmet in 1945 in favour of a forage cap [37] but retains the white helmet for use by the Toronto Police Chief's Ceremonial Unit. The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary currently uses the helmet for some officers (usually senior) and for special events.

The main reason that traffic police wear white hats is for visibility. The Custodian Helmet is made of cork covered by felt or serge-like material to match the tunic. Inside, the brim is faced with a plain material and a leather headband adjusts the fit.
