Police Whistles

January 28, 2015 by

yesterday we chatted about Metropolitan Police whistles as one of the top asked about whistles on our site.

Makes sense since the only book written about police whistles started out by focusing on them alone.

However the book is entitled Collecting Police Whistles and Similar Types ( by Martyn Gilchrist )

So it goes that there are OTHER police whistles ( and even, hate to say it but NON police whistles )  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I've got to give it to you, that there are a whole slew of police whistles that have Metropolitan on them and then they are stamped for another police force other than the Metro ( i.e.London )

Gotta include all the burghs, counties, constabularies, cities, etc. etc. etc. ad infinitum. That are in no way related to the LONDON police force.

And of  of course there are different years for each of these to add to these too….whew !!! This could go on forever  — it would seem….

What;s the point so far ?? Possibly to expand our vies beyond the METROPOLITAN POLICE  whistle (I.E.LONDON ) and include others ???
