Københavns Politiorkester

About

Københavns Politiorkester (KPO) is a wind band founded in 1922 by police officers who wanted to show there was more to the uniform than daily police work. Around 45 musicians - all employed by or connected to the Copenhagen Police - make up the ensemble, which runs entirely on membership fees and supporter contributions with no public funding. The repertoire ranges from marches and swing to musicals and light classical, and the orchestra has performed abroad on numerous occasions, including seven visits to the Strathclyde International Police Tattoo in Glasgow.
