      Black uniform is 'So ARV'; the 'hardcore' CTSFOs are all going FDE this year.

      I've skim read the Casey report and related articles and it appears £3000 was paid for a plate carrier - about ten times the normal cost!

      Also quoted was the request to add 'Camo wraps' to Met armoured vehicles (not the normal ARVs but the heavy mob ones); at least this was cancelled by a senior officer who thought 'Camo' wasn't really needed in the streets of London .

        Well the Met are institutionally corrupt...

          This might interest some. "BlackBeltBarrister" breaks down the report and explains "Policing by consent".
