About us 

Our identity

In this section, there is an overview of badges and insignia worn by Thames Valley Police uniformed officers and staff.

Police officers wear their unique warrant number (‘shoulder number’) on their shoulder epaulettes, along with their stripes. These numbers allow you to identify officers. All police officer warrant cards carry their photograph and certify their identity, the police force for which they work, and their entitlement to use police powers.

Thames Valley Police uniformed officers and staff display the Thames Valley Police Authority coat of arms on their uniforms and badges.
