The swollen blue line! Police lash out over 'woke' unisex uniforms that cops claim crushes male officers' testicles
- Male police officers say their trousers are so tight their manhoods are at risk
- More than 200,000 officers and staff were asked their views in national survey
Male police officers are complaining their ill-fitting trousers are so tight their manhoods are at risk of being crushed.
The arresting uniform has been narrowly cut in such a way that there is barely room to swing a baton, they say.
The damning verdicts on their official issued uniform came about as part of the first ever police uniform and equipment survey run by Lancaster University and the Police Federation.
In July, more than 200,000 police officers and staff were invited to give their views as part of a new national initiative.

Lancaster University Law School researchers Dr Camilla De Camargo and Dr Stephanie Wallace spearheaded the survey to understand key issues and areas needing improvement.
Dr De Camargo had previously written a doctoral thesis which found police uniforms and stab vests were traditionally designed by men, for men and tailored to masculine body shapes, which was impacting female officers' performance, health and safety, morale and psychological wellbeing.
However, the current designed trousers appear to be having a similar negative effect on policemen.
Belinda Goodwin, national board member and wellbeing lead for the police union, told The Sun: 'During a survey, Gwent police male officers complained of experiencing crushed testicles.
'All of this plays into how officers and staff feel on the job and that cannot be understated.'

In 2021 it was reported that the Metropolitan Police - Britain's biggest force - was considering plans to introduce gender-neutral uniforms.
The London force has been consulting its 30,000 officers on the idea.
