This changed in February 2009 when the City of London Police was divided into directorates rather than along the traditional divisional lines. The new shoulder number for all police officers was suffixed by 'CP' and the former department designations A-F ceased to exist for uniform purposes. Territorial Policing response officers now work out of Bishopsgate police station, some support services such as the Dogs and Mounted Unit are based at the Headquarters in Wood Street and community officers, PCSOs and various administrative services work from Snow Hill police station.
