Met Police Unit Parliament and Diplomatic Protection (PaDP)

This realistic artwork is a tribute to the Metropolitan Police Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection (PaDP), one of the most recognisable armed policing roles in London, responsible for protecting Parliament, diplomatic premises and other key sites.

The composition features the unmistakable operational equipment associated with PaDP, including the armed response vest, police cap, radio, restraints, baton and specialist kit, all presented with careful attention to authenticity and detail. It reflects a role defined by discipline, professionalism and constant readiness, carried out in public view yet often unnoticed by the crowds passing by.

Painted by retired Metropolitan Police Senior Artist Jan Szymczuk (By Boris), this piece is both a respectful tribute and a lasting part of Metropolitan Police heritage. It is ideal for serving or retired officers, collectors of police memorabilia, and anyone with an appreciation for specialist policing history.

Available in two frame sizes, with two mount options, making it suitable for display in a home office, study, or private collection.
