They're not provided (in this Force area at least) as they're no longer cost effective apparently. Those that were issued them previously can still wear them but those of us who haven't don't get them. For passing out the store rooms will lend you one, and also for commendation awards, but that's it. We even have an agreement with the courts that uniformed officers turn up in their daily uniforms to give evidence. Except you have to remember to turn your radio off as the magistrates/judges get a bit sniffy otherwise!
