Police Long Service Award. Pocket Watch

Police Officer Retirement or Long Service Recognition Watches
I have designed police watches that can be personalised as special retirement gifts, or as a recognition of long and loyal service, for police officers, policemen, police constables, and those who have made their career working in the police force.
The watches have sold around the world, to police in countries including the UK and Australia.
Below you can see examples of the kind of watches that I have designed which have then been especially personalised by the purchaser for police officers, and presented as gifts and awards to show the appreciation of the local community.
I also have fun Police Gift Mugs in
my Etsy Store.
Take a look at these examples:
In my Etsy Store I have many more Gifts for Police.
Please take a look...

Policemen and their Helmets...
Policemen and police helmets have always been a fun theme for me when it comes to drawing cartoons.
Here is a mug that has two examples. (You can see more here...)

Police Training School...
This black-and-white cartoon of mine has proved to be one of my most popular and best-selling pieces.
It shows a police instructor standing before a classroom of cadets, pointing to a blackboard on which the words “Hello, Hello, Hello, What’s all this then?” are neatly written – the classic line so often associated with traditional British policing.
The humour lies in the idea of this familiar phrase being treated as part of formal police training – as if recruits must practise the iconic greeting before heading out on duty.
It’s a simple concept, but one that seems to strike a chord with people, especially those with links to the police service or a fondness for classic British humour.

Over the years, this cartoon has appeared on mugs, greetings cards, and other items, and continues to raise a smile wherever it’s seen. It’s a gentle reminder of a bygone era and the good-natured image of the friendly local bobby.

Police Training School – The Early Version
Now we’re going back! This is an earlier version of my Police Training School cartoon, drawn many years before the version I reworked and posted on the blog in 2016.
It’s always interesting to look back and see how ideas evolve – sometimes the humour is the same, but the drawing style, character design or pacing changes quite a bit over time.
This earlier drawing was published in Revue newspaper on 11th April 1981, back when much of my cartoon work was still produced in pen and ink.
The humour revolves around police recruits and the slightly absurd world of training exercises – even then, I enjoyed playing with the idea of authority meeting everyday human fallibility.
When I revisited the cartoon in the 2016 version, I kept the same comic idea but refined the visual style – a reminder of how both the humour and the artwork can evolve over time while keeping the same core idea intact.

It’s satisfying to compare the two versions side by side. The early one has a loose, spontaneous energy that often comes with deadline newspaper work, while the later version benefits from a more polished composition and digital finish.
Between them, they tell their own story of how a cartoonist’s approach can change over the years.
