Thank you for the link, now I can see that they were (most likely)
PCSOs... at least colours were as described in the article + high
visibility clothing... :-/

But constables also wear high-vis clothing and similar colors. You can
tell a PCSO because their clothing will be labeled COMMUNITY SUPPORT
OFFICER in addition or instead of POLICE.
