Behind him is a large shelving unit filled with police memorabilia, including helmets, badges, framed photos, plaques, and other law enforcement artifacts. A white coffee mug with "City of London Police" text is placed on the table in front of him. The room has a well-lit, organized display of law enforcement collectibles.
