Use Outside The Commonwealth
Some Italian municipal police forces use a white custodian helmet, particularly when directing traffic.
The Monegasque Carabiniers Company use a white custodian helmet in summer (and a blue in winter).
Until the mid-20th century, custodian helmets were in use with the municipal police forces of several Dutch cities, most notably The Hague.
Some early uniforms of the Pennsylvania State Police incorporated a cloth covered helmet, manufactured in England. Several photographs exist that show a funeral procession for a fallen officer (John (Jack) L. Briscoe) in Stockton, California. Briscoe was killed in the line of duty of 5 February 1917. Some of the line officers in the procession wore a modified custodian helmet with a leather band just above the rim and a silver badge on the front.

Famous quotes containing the word commonwealth:
“By this unprincipled facility of changing the state as often, and as much, and in as many ways as there are floating fancies or fashions, the whole chain and continuity of the commonwealth would be broken. No one generation could link with the other. Men would become little better than the flies of a summer.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
