List of United Kingdom uniformed services

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a List of United Kingdom uniformed services which includes all uniformed public, emergency, armed and charity services in the United Kingdom and overseas territories.[1]

The services listed here are national, regional, local, recognised, emergency, public-serving, military and educational and support services.

Members generally wear uniform, with distinct insignia so they can be identified in their distinct role. Rank structures are similar and similarities can be found between services. Some services may overlap and some may carry out similar duties.[2]
