Using the Met's intellectual property

The Met police logo, uniforms, cap badges, royal armorial (crest), warrant badge, vehicle liveries, New Scotland Yard revolving sign, paperwork and other items are all copyright of the Metropolitan Police Authority. Some of these are also trademarked.

The Met doesn’t commercially endorse or advertise products or services. We may grant permission and approval for an image to appear as incidental, such as in the background at a football match, or directing traffic.

Where police are needed for advertising purposes, we’d suggest a generic police force is depicted, with no identifying logos or badges.

Using Met officers, staff and animals

We don't hire out Met staff or animals as performers, but we have a range of advice and support services available. To find out more, please contact us for a quote.

Using Met equipment

The Met doesn't hire out uniform, equipment or vehicles, but they can be sourced from various registered providers. Visit our owning and transporting Met equipment page or ukfilmandtv.com to find out more.

Using Met posters and campaign material

For productions that require set-dressing we provide a poster pack, which includes posters from various Met campaigns, at a cost of £50, plus VAT. If you need a particular poster campaign, we’ll do our best to find it for you. Please note, we can only send poster packs if you've been granted a Met IP licence.

Using Met technical advice and expertise

We have experts in a range of fields available to assist the film industry. To request an interview or consultation, please get in touch using our quick and simple online form. Once we have a good idea of the information you need, we’ll be able to pair you with an experienced officer or member of staff and provide a quote.
