<P> RAFP non-commissioned officers and warrant officers are noticeable by their white - topped caps ( giving rise to their nickname of `` Snowdrops '' ) , which they have worn since 1945 , and by black and red flashes worn below their rank slides . RAFP commissioned officers wear the standard peaked cap of all RAF officers , with the red and black flashes . In dress uniform , all RAFP wear a red and black brassard on the left arm , reflecting the flashes worn with normal working dress . In tactical dress , RAFP personnel wear red `` MP '' badges , the internationally recognised symbol for military police . </P>
