Even still, I stand by my original point. IMO the group of UK beat cops I posted looks FAR less intimidating than the picture of CPS beat cops you posted with their black uniforms and dark sunglasses.

To your point, many services, including CPS are giving the option to wearing external body armour. I think that is what you are responding to. It has external molle the allows equipment to be carried on the vest instead of all around the waist. Saves on backs and allows more kit gear (ie. Trauma kits) to be carried.
While it's purpose is practicality, it is definitely more militarized than the traditional duty belt.
