Futher to the change of uniform, to the best of my failing memory, around that time the invicta horse was moved from the shoulder to the lapels. I believe as a result of the television program Z cars.

Webmaster comments   Hi again Jim,
The horse moved from the epaulettes to the lapel sometime in the early 60's. Don't have an exact date, but I joined in 1964, and wearing collar detached shirts, the Invicta horse was on our lapels.

Regarding the uniform change, I think this must have been when we changed from separate collars and studs to nylon shirts. Blue for ranks up to sergeant and white for inspectors and above.

Webmaster comments   Thanks for this Jim. Those studs made an awful dent near the Adam's Apple, most uncomfortable. Good to have 'proper' shirts after them

Hi I am trying to find out any information on a Geoffrey Bond I believe he was in the Kent constabulary in the mid 1960 and possibly in Traffic as motorcyle cop in 1966-67 I know that he was in a newspaper clipping in the Kent and Sussex Courier in 1966/67 with regard to a uniform change ?
Thank you

In progressing my family history research I would be very interested to know whether or not your Kent Police archives contain any information pertaining to the following officers:

- Sgt. George William Sutton [1849 - 1912]
Served as a Police Constable in Harbledown and by 1891 had become a Police Sergeant in Eynsford.

- Sgt. George Victor Sutton [1887 - 1948]
Served as a Police Constable in Tenterden, Kent in 1911. Promoted to Police Sergeant and moved to Tonbridge from 1918 and Medway by 1923.

Thanks,
James

I served in the Kent force from 1972 until 1989 and now I live in Spain.

I would love to be able to obtain momentos of the force I served in with pride so if anything is available I'd love to know.

In the meantime keep up the good work as the site is excellent.
