If you are still in doubt of what you can wear or collect, we have tried simplifying it for ease.

You can wear, in public, an item of Ex police clothing as long as it does NOT have a "POLICE" badge or appear to say the word Police, e.g. POLITE, POLIC€, POLEASE etc.
You can wear clothing that has chequered reflective strip as this is not reserved for just police use.
Can I posses police uniform? - as long as you can prove that you have obtained it lawfully, then yes. (Invoice or receipt)
