How do the police uniforms in England differ from police uniforms in America?

Because we both have different styles of policing. The American police uniform is designed to be able to carry a sidearm on their utility belt whereas the British police aren't. It also goes back years ago to what the first police uniforms where like for British or American officers. Britain had a tunic and the signature high helmet with metal logo on it and we still have that today here, whereas police in the US usually wear a "garrison" hat or, in some cases, a 10-gallon hat.
