Afghan Police Helmet.

[Ser-g]

Hi Paul R,

When i was in Afghanistan for the force, i know the local police that we where training painted all available helmets white and wrote precisely that on it.
It was common practice from some smaller police forces to cut off the straps as they hated them dangling around.
In those locations they would never where those helmets but have them near in case it got serious.

As to the removed paint, Imagine wearing a helmet with no straps in serious situations. Then imagine a country where nearly everything is stone, sand or rock.

Hope this clears some things up for you,
