Several Welsh Police Chiefs have responded to Celtic League suggestions that they should develop the National profile of their forces in line with initiatives already taken by the North Wales force in adopting a distinctive uniform.

The contributions which are set out below are most encouraging. In particular Gwent Chief Constable, Mike Tonge, makes a significant contribution when he suggests that the issue should move forward on an 'all Wales' basis.

Powys Chief Constable, Andrew Richards, also makes a number of pertinent contributions first by correcting the record and pointing out that his Force already uses a silver dragon logo on its uniforms. He also suggests that it is important that any overt stylising of uniform may convey the wrong image in some (rural) areas.

Although brief both these contributions (which are set out below) provide valuable 'food for thought'. Certainly, a less ostentatious symbol which identified the National character of the Police forces of Wales must be a desirable objective.

Dear Mr Tal-e-bot

Thank you for your letter dated 21st January 2008 concerning the adoption of a distinct Welsh police uniform and badge.

I am grateful for you bringing me up to speed with this interesting development in North Wales police.

All four Chief Constables in Wales meet to discuss issues on an 'all Wales' basis and I will ensure this matter is raised at our next meeting. I will write back to you following this with the outcome of our discussions.

Yours sincerely

Mike Tonge

Chief Constable Gwent police"

"30th January 2008

Dear Rhisiart

A Distinct Welsh Police Uniform and Badge

Thank you for your letter concerning the above.

I have noted the development of the Red Dragon Flag in North Wales with interest but would advise you that at this time we have no plans to introduce such a uniform into this force area.

I have discussed the North Wales uniform with staff here and currently it is felt to adopt too paramilitary an image in our predominantly rural force area. I would point out that our uniform does carry the silver Welsh Dragon which I wear with considerable pride on my own tunic but we will consider any developments which might improve our uniforms very carefully.

Thank you for your interest in this matter.

Yours sincerely

Mr Andrew R Edwards

Acting Chief Constable Powys Police"
