Comments by "craxd1" (@craxd1) on "How the British police used to look and behave, before they became a paramilitary force" video.
The change in look and methods started in the US around 1900, where police uniforms started looking more militaristic with peaked caps, etc. Britain still had the older uniforms up until the 1930s, which were what US police wore before the turn of the century. It seems that after WWII, Britain gradually changed to match what was taking place in US policing, especially with the invention of SWAT.
