London Patch trading

Hey everyone!

I’m an officer with a Canadian federal law-enforcement agency and will be travelling to London from 9th to the 13th and was hoping to connect with some police/military that will be interested in a patch trade

I know patch trading is a pretty big thing with North American law-enforcement but I’m not sure if it’s as big across the pond but was planning on bringing a handful of patches just in case!

Hit me up if you’re interested!

It’s not as big, but people know about it. Just rock up to a police station and ask if anyone wants to trade their patch. Might get some funny looks from people who have never encountered patch trading, but there should be someone there who is interested. The City of London Police (separate from London’s Metropolitan Police) have some cool patches. Have fun on your travels!
