Liverpool Cathedral Constables

Its officers follow a long-held tradition of cathedral constables dating back to the thirteenth century.

At one time many Anglican cathedrals appointed ecclesiastical constables to uphold law and order in and around their precincts.

The cathedral's constables wear uniforms similar to typical British police officers.

Not all officers are attested, but attested officers are distinguishable by their wearing of a cap with a Sillitoe tartan (black and white chequered) band, the addition of ‘Police’ below Cathedral Constable on their uniform and the carrying of personal safety equipment.

All constables are trained to deal with difficult and occasionally dangerous situations whilst ensuring minimal disruption to the spiritual tranquility of the cathedral.
