I SEE that Thames Valley Police is going into caps and discarding the helmet.

This seems a good idea but there is little point in issuing caps, as the only officers that seem to wear headwear these days are foot patrols (and even then, not always) and those at major incidents.

I can understand why TVP doesn’t want anything to do with the television series Lewis. The police actors are smart and properly dressed.
