Cape Wins Police Uniform Contest
An innovative police cape based on those worn by officers in Victorian times has proved a winning design in a competition to help shape new uniforms.

London College of Fashion students were asked to come up with designs as part of a review by the Metropolitan (Met) Police into men and women's uniforms.

The winning women's design included trousers that can be adjusted to be worn high or low on the hip.
