    Default Does any agency still wear custodian helmets?

    Are there any law enforcement agencies in Canada that still wear custodian helmets (British Bobby type hats) as part of their uniform? I would imagine this would be part of a dress uniform if anything, I recently saw an old picture (1940's or so) of Manitoba Corrections officers wearing these, and a more recent one of a Royal Newfoundland Constabulary sergeant wearing one as well.

    Wow sorry, error. Anyways. The reason why they don't wear helmets, and why most agencies who have a couple of brain cells left don't issues badges to be worn externally on a vest is because of safety, cost might also play a part of it.
