* Logo
* Patch

**Greater London Police** is the fictional police service featured in the BBC1 crime drama *Silent Witness*.

## Jurisdiction

The force is shown to operate within the entire Greater London area.

## Information

* The name Greater London Police was likely used by the producers of the show to avoid licensing disagreements with the real life Metropolitan Police.
* Great attention is paid to the details of the uniforms within the show, with the patches on officers vests often very closely resembling those of the actual Metropolitan Police.
* On occasion, extras portraying police officers are actually seen wearing genuine Metropolitan Police uniforms, as they look very similar to the Greater London Police ones created for the show.
* Unlike the real Metropolitan Police logo, which contains a basic E II R royal cipher, the forces logo instead contains a minimalist coat of arms.
* Throughout the series, the force is shown to contract the fictional Thomas Lyell Centre to carry out forensic pathology work.
* The force is one of four fictional forces appearing in the show, with the others being the East Highlands Police, Brighton & Hove Police and Wessex Police.
