events we participate in have a ceremonial aspect, which if a uniformed
branch of Her Majesty’s Services, be it Military or Civil, wishes
to participate is required by decree of the Sovereign to wear official
‘Ceremonial uniform’, which the current officers operational
uniform is not.
All officers are required to possess a specified ‘Dress’ uniform so as to carry out our roles, be it parade or funeral duties. The matter of Support staff inclusion was resolved through the intervention of the Police Unity Memorial Association (PUMA) who adopted wholly the proposal for a Ceremonial Support staff uniform. The dress uniform standards are outlined as follows; |
|
| Sworn (Male
PC) Custodian Helmet (Regardless of Department) Sworn (Male Off) Flat cap Diced band and relevant braid Sworn (Female) Bowler diced band and relevant braid PUMA (Male) Flat cap No diced band PUMA badge PUMA (Female) Bowler No diced band PUMA Badge PCSO (Male) Flat cap and PCSO Band and badging PCSO (Female) Bowler and PCSO Band and Badging Sworn (Male PC) Dress Tunic & Dress Trousers Sworn (Male Off) Dress Tunic & Dress Trousers or Skirt Sworn (Female) Dress Tunic & Dress Trouser or Skirt PUMA (Male) Dress Tunic PUMA Badging PUMA (Female) Dress Tunic PUMA Badging Dress Trousers or Skirt PCSO (Male) Dress Tunic PCSO (Female) Dress Tunic Dress Trousers or Skirt Sworn (Male PC) White shirt &Black tie Sworn (Male Off) White shirt &Black tie Sworn (Female) White shirt and Diced cravat PUMA (Male) Sky Blue shirt and Navy Tie PUMA (Female) Sky Blue shirt and Navy Tie PCSO (Male) Sky Blue shirt and Navy Tie PCSO (Female) Sky Blue shirt and Navy Tie ALL Polished Black plain shoes or boots ALL (Male) Black socks ALL (Female) Black tights or Socks ALL Whistle Chain ALL Bandsmen’s Wet weather Cape (Compulsory purchase*) ALL Relevant Surrey Police or PUMA badging |

Officers who come under PUMA have suggested additional
adornments such as blue aiguillettes for them and White Aiguillettes
for Sworn officers, which may greatly enhance and compliment the
traditional dress uniform. It will undoubtedly incur cost implications
The aim is to provide a form of uniformity and smartness as only expected with carrying out ‘Civic’ and ‘Ceremonial’ functions. ALL officers are required to purchase a Bandsmen’ Wet weather cape for adverse weather conditions. |
