For decades, a white shirt and black clip- on tie has been part of a
police officer's uniform.

But the dangers of modern policing - which mean officers must wear
body armour on patrol - have led one force to swop the traditional
attire for something more practical.

From next month all of West Mercia's bobbies will wear black zip-up
tops when they are on the beat.

The change is due to be introduced in a fortnight. It leaves the
force, which covers Herefordshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire, open
to criticism that its officers will resemble members of a paramilitary
organisation.

But West Mercia's chiefs say the traditional uniform had become
"increasingly impractical".
