Primefac (talk) 14:10, 25 January 2020 (UTC) Feel free to respond to me here and we can discuss it further. I suspect I'm missing something obvious. Primefac (talk) 14:20, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

I can understand why on the surface this seems like a duplication, but the subtleties are important. These rank insignia are only used in specific circumstances, that being public order or public safety (POPS) events within the UK. They are somewhat standardised by the College of Policing. The purpose of the template was to demonstrate both a command structure and specific roles that exist within these events. The colour scheme denotes a command structure which is worthy to talk about in isolation and would be unfamiliar to anyone who has not been at a POPS event. There is also a lot to talk about regarding the three specific roles: tac advisor, medic and EGT. I actually need to update the template as there is also a difference in the fact that all POPS insignia should include identifiable numbers for each officer. That's a standard that needs to be reflected as the top set don't currently have this. Essentially, this insignia is substantially different than normal duty insignia for the UK police. The template is needed to properly articulate the roles and why they are different from the insignia you mentioned. ChrisSBurns (talk) 18:27, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

City of London Police rank insignia
(Assuming you are 146.90.206.255)

Constables' and sergeants' collar numbers are as set out at collar number. Regular sergeants have one, two or three digits (in the range 1 to 149) example 1 example 2, regular constables have three digits (in the range 150 to 999) example 1 example 2, special sergeants have four digits beginning 10, and special constables have four digits beginning 11 or 12. No City officer has a five-digit collar number. Ranks above sergeant display warrant numbers rather than collar numbers: for regular officers these are five digits beginning 1 (I assume this is what you have seen on Twitter: the new images are accurate for these officers), and for specials these are four digits beginning 7 or 8 (mainly 8: these are assigned sequentially and only one officer is left with a warrant number beginning 7). The previous images displayed numbers which were valid possibilities for each rank. Proteus (Talk) 11:21, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
