*Un-Issued* Vintage National Police Corps Cap. HE 855. - HE 855 The Dutch Police history starts in 1581, with the formation of the Dutch Republic. A simple police organization was created without clear tasks and powers. This stayed the same until 1810, when Napoleon annexed the Netherlands to the French Empire and started to set up a proper police force. Cities could free up money for a schout (sheriff); for towns this was a Veldwachter (constable). During the Second World War there was a Reichskommissar fur die Niederlande, Arthur Seyss-Inquart. The entire police force numbered about twenty thousand employees. After the war, this service is disbanded. To restore and control public order, the government decided to set up a new police organization in November 1945. A distinction was made between the Gemeentepolitie (municipal police) for designated municipalities, and the Rijkspolitie (national police) for the rest of the country. This cap is in very good order, with original tissue around the inner rim. The original badge is in place to the front. The price includes UK delivery. HE 855. £175.00 |
