Issued in 1979 as part of Great Britain’s “Police Service” series, these stamps honor the everyday work of British law enforcement. The 10p stamp depicts a friendly policeman interacting with two children, symbolizing community trust and safety. The 11½p stamp shows a traffic officer directing vehicles beside a police Land Rover, representing road safety and public assistance. Designed in a realistic illustrative style, these stamps highlight the human and service-oriented side of policing under Queen Elizabeth II’s reign.
