Post 1960 Isle Of Man Male Constable's/ Sergeant's Cromwell Hard Shell White Summer Helmet With Chrome ball Top, Queen’s Crown Helmet Plate & Chin Strap. Sn 23291 - 23291 The Isle of Man Constabulary, established formally in the mid-19th century (with roots back to 1777), is an independent police force responsible for law enforcement across the island. It operates under the Isle of Man Government's Department of Home Affairs, consisting of roughly 236 officers split into four neighbourhood teams focused on community policing, drug deterrence, and specialized protection, particularly during the TT races. The island's policing began with "petit constables" appointed in 1777 under the High Bailiff's Act for towns like Douglas, Castletown, Ramsey, and Peel. A more structured force was initiated following the Justices Act 1836, with the first Chief Constable appointed in 1874. Prior to 1893, areas like Douglas Harbour relied on a mix of local officers and Manchester police, leading to the creation of a specialized Harbor Force. The force has evolved into a modern, independent service, distinct from the UK, though it often utilizes UK standards and training. In terms of uniform, the force looks very similar to police in the United Kingdom, apart from the Isle of Man custodian helmets worn by male constables and sergeants. White helmets were introduced in 1960 as a summer alternative to the older black helmets (for high visibility & partly for tourism reasons). This is an excellent, post 1960 Isle of Man Police Male Constable's / Sergeant's White Summer Helmet With Queen’s Crown Helmet Plate and Chin Strap. It has an excellent clean hard shell exterior finish with no dents, vented chrome ball top mount & headband. Both sides of the helmet have ringed ventilation holes. It is fitted with its original metal Queen’s Crown Isle Of Man Police Queen’s Crown plate. Inside it is in excellent condition with a leather sweat band & patent leather chin strap with buckle. The inside of the helmet have maker’s label and marks ‘Cromwell Helmets Ltd Wheathampstead’ together with British standard ‘BS’ designation and size ’59 7 3/8’ (all illustrated). The price includes UK delivery. Sn 23291 (top shelf storeroom police helmets) £295.00 |
