"It is important we can show our support publicly for our armed service colleagues, for the first time innocent civilians who have lost their lives in conflict and acts of terrorism and the Royal British Legion in the great work they do.”

The poppies have been ordered directly with the Royal British Legion and will be displayed on vehicles from our Road Policing, Armed Policing, Dog Unit, Operational Support Unit, Major Crime Unit and Scientific Services Unit teams.
