metropolitan_police_brass
The legendary whistle of the London Metropolitan Police, created in 1883 by Joseph Hudson. Powerful, precise, and faithful to the original design, still handmade in England by ACME in collaboration with WO Design — a clear, commanding sound and the true voice of British tradition.
The original Metropolitan Police Whistle, known as the “Wilderness Whistle”, has been the unmistakable sound of authority for over 140 years. Designed by Joseph Hudson in 1883 for the London Metropolitan Police, it remains one of the most iconic signal instruments ever made.
Each whistle is precision-crafted in Birmingham, England, by J. Hudson & Co., using traditional methods and materials. Compact yet powerful, its sharp, commanding tone can be heard up to 1.6 km away — a hallmark of ACME’s renowned craftsmanship.
Finished in polished brass (also available in Sterling Silver, Gold or Rose Gold), the Metropolitan whistle combines historical authenticity with timeless durability. A piece that continues to symbolize discipline, tradition, and British design excellence.
