Polizei decals

Many Polizei decal types were used on civic helmets , some identical to those on combat helmets but also some variants which seem to be placed exclusively on civic helmets. The decals also found on combat helmets can be found here. The ones observed only on civic style helmets can be viewed below. I will post more variants as I go along.
