The next new police helmet in England. Since the beginning of 2004 some Police Forces in United Kingdom use this new helmet (Dyfed Powys, Greater Manchester, Wiltshire, Thames Valley, Humberside, Dorset, ect...). Then, each Force will be given 30 helmets to use in the trial period in a variety of operational situations. The helmets will be used by both male and female officers.
