New For Old

Framed Edition

There was a time when Bring Your Father To Work Day meant turning up with a man who wore a flat cap, carried a notebook and knew every villain within half a mile by nickname alone.

Now… things look slightly different.

New For Old is a gentle bow to that changing of the guard. A humorous contrast between generations of policing. On one side, modern kit, tactical precision and equipment that looks like it belongs in a science fiction film. On the other, old school instinct, a wooden truncheon, and experience earned the hard way.

It is not criticism. It is affection.

Front and centre stands the future. Professional, composed, layered in specialist kit, ready for anything. Every strap has a purpose. Every pouch has a label. Everything is state of the art.

Beside him stands the past. Slightly rumpled. Slightly sceptical. Entirely unbothered. A man who once policed with little more than a whistle, a notebook and a stare that could stop a fight before it started.

The chalkboard says it all. Bring Your Father To Work Day. The unspoken competition to impress colleagues with whose dad was toughest, cleverest, or most legendary.

Look closely and you will see the humour in the details. The contrast in equipment. The difference in posture. The quiet expression that says policing may change, but character does not.

This framed edition captures that blend of nostalgia and progress. It celebrates both eras without picking sides. Because every generation believes theirs was the proper job.

Perfect for serving officers. Retired officers. Families of officers. Or anyone who understands that policing evolves, but pride in the badge never fades.

New kit. Old wisdom.
