    Calling NYPD Officers. Winter Fur Hat Wanted..

    Hi All,

    I was wondering if any NYPD officer would be willing to exchange a NYPD winter fur cap for an English Custodian helmet. The Custodian is the traditional English Bobbies helmet. I'm in the U.K. and if anyones interested then I'd be looking to exchange on a forthcoming trip to NYC in December. Anyway, if anyones interested then get in touch for more details!

    Cheers

    Martyn

    Martyn,

    Not sure how much a Custodian costs, but you can buy one of those winter hats here in NY City on your trip, from any police store with your police credentials. A

    Additionally what used to be leather with real fur are now black vinyl with faux fur and sell for about $25.

    Really? That would make things a bit easier. What store do you reccomend? We'll be staying at the Westin on Times Square.

    Cheers

    Martyn,

    You can visit the following places for one, but make sure you have your Police ID:

    I would first try these in this order. Give them a call when you land and tell them you are looking for the NYPD winter cap with fur lining. All shoudl have it. I went with who was closest to you first.
    1) Juniors Police Equipment, 211 E 21st St # 1 New York, NY 10010-6434 - (212) 673-4877
    2) Meyers Uniforms, 63 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217 @ 718-855-4018


    Then:
    F&J Police Equipment, 378 East 161 Street, Bronx, NY 10451 @ 718-665-4535
    Brothers Police Store, 3013 Webster Avenue, Bonx, NY 10458 @ 718-913-0270
    Paul's Police Equipment, 2630 East Tremont Avenue, Bronx, NY 10451 @ 718-597-0480

    As a side note, when I left the NYPD allowed either the standard russian style fur/leather, or a regular knit cap that was black or dark blue.

    That's great thanks for the help. It's the Russian fur one I'm after not the knit one. I'll give Juniors a call from the U.K. prior to leaving to make sure they'll accept my warrant card as Police credentials as I'd hate to leave empty handed! From google street view they also have a few Custodian helmets in the window too. Seems they are easier to get hold of over there than they are here. Our stores will allow you to purchase ones for exchanges with overseas forces but they're not something you can pick up here! Again, thanks for the advice and links to the stores.

    No problem! Don't worry about calling and asking. Any English Bobby who shows up here is welcome. If you have a patch bring it, it goes a long way with the counter clerk. You folks are common around here and well known for hitting the police stores when you come and your credential are just as good as a NYPD cops credential in those stores.

    Joey, when I was in NYC in 2002 I bought some stuff in the NYPD store in the Lafayette in Manhattan, is that store closed? I think that would be closer to the Times Square than Brkln or the Bronx.

    There are two things I'm good in, the second is arresting people



    I'm looking for Drug/Narcotic Unit patches together with DUI/DWI unit patches for a frame in our Anti-Drug-Team bureau

    Also looking for Massachusetts Police and US Capitol City PD patches now!

    No its there and still going, but they don't have the hat he wants. But I did give him Juniors, which is in Manhattan, just behind the NYPD Police Academy.
