Police Constable Oath of Office – Personalised Framed Certificate with Police Badge & Thin Blue Line Ribbon
This personalised Police Constable Oath of Office brings together the formal words spoken on appointment with a carefully presented design that honours service, duty, and commitment to public office.
Each certificate is individually produced using the wording of the Police Constable’s Oath of Office, printed on high-quality textured paper and personalised with the officer’s name, date, and place of appointment or attestation.
At the centre of the display sits a printed police badge, carefully incorporated into the design, and the certificate is finished with black ribbon featuring a thin blue line through the centre — a recognised symbol associated with policing, service, and remembrance.
Unlike the British Army Oath of Allegiance, the Police Constable’s Oath of Office is not sworn to the monarch’s heirs and successors. It is sworn to the reigning monarch at the time the oath is taken. This gives each certificate a particular historical context, whether the oath was taken under Queen Elizabeth II or King Charles III.
Every piece is handmade to order by military veterans, with careful attention to layout, accuracy, and presentation.
Mounted in a choice of beech or black frame, this is a smart and meaningful display piece for serving officers, retired police officers, families, collectors, and anyone wishing to mark a career in policing. Whether given for attestation, retirement, promotion, or as a lasting tribute to service, this is more than a certificate. It is a record of a promise made in public service.
All items are produced in the UK by a veteran-run business and are MOD approved and licensed where applicable.

What is included in the Police Constable Oath of Office frame?
Each frame includes a personalised Police Constable Oath of Office certificate printed with the officer’s name and attestation details, a printed police badge, and black ribbon with a thin blue line detail. It is mounted in a choice of beech or black frame.
Is a metal police badge included?
No. This product uses a printed police badge incorporated into the certificate design. A metal badge is not included.
Is there a shilling included?
No. The shilling is associated with military enlistment displays and is not included with the Police Constable Oath of Office frame.
Can I personalise the certificate?
Yes. The certificate can be personalised with the officer’s full name, date, and place of appointment or attestation.
What is the difference between the Police Oath of Office and the Army Oath of Allegiance?
The British Army Oath of Allegiance is sworn to the monarch, their heirs and successors. The Police Constable’s Oath of Office is sworn to the reigning monarch at the time the oath is taken, which gives the certificate its own distinct historical context.
Which Monarch’s name appears on the certificate?
The certificate will reflect the reigning monarch at the time the oath was taken. For oaths taken during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, her name is used. For oaths taken under King Charles III, his name is used.
Do police officers need to retake the oath when the monarch changes?
The wording of the Police Constable’s Oath of Office refers to the reigning monarch rather than to heirs and successors. In theory, this creates an interesting distinction from military oaths. In practice, police officers are not generally required to retake the oath when the monarch changes.
Who is this frame suitable for?
This frame makes a meaningful gift for serving police officers, retired officers, new constables, families, and anyone wishing to mark attestation, retirement, promotion, or long service.
Are the frames handmade?
Yes. Each frame is handmade to order in our UK workshop by military veterans, with care taken over presentation, layout, and finish.
