The Daily Telegraph reports that London's Metropolitan Police, inspired by the success particularly of American forces, is considering launching a new line of clothing and gift items under the NSY brand (named after its headquarters, New Scotland Yard) and the Metropolitan Police crest. The funds raised will help foot the bill (pun definitely intended) for London's policing costs. Keith Luck, the Metropolitan Police's director of resources,feels that the goods will be popular with tourists, though there may be a market for smaller items amongst UK-based consumers. "Having an NSY shop in the departure lounge at Heathrow is not unforeseeable" said Mr Luck. However, proper police uniforms and equipment will not be sold.
The IPKat commends the Met on its initiative. How could it fail, if the Met has Luck in policing the use of it mark (puns definitely intended). Our feline friend, naughty kitty that he is, suggests in jest that the use of the term may be geographically descriptive or, if the goods are not made by multi-talented bobbies and the Yard, deceptive
Some money-making opportunities the Met missed here, here and here
Meet some special constables here
Other NSYs here, here, here and here

No comments:
All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
