RCMP rolling out new unforms

RCMP officers nationwide will soon be sporting a new look.

Over the next 18 months, the RCMP will transition to new navy-blue uniform shirts, replacing the current grey shirts.

For the foreseeable future, some members will still wear the grey shirts.

The police are reminding the public that, should you have any concerns about the identity of the police officer you are interacting with, you can ask the officer for identification. Additionally, you can contact the local detachment's non-emergency line orthe Operational Communication Centre to determine if there is a police officer at your location.

Commissioner Mike Duheme said, "For the first time in 30 years, RCMP officers will be stepping out in their communities with a new uniform shirt that fits with today's modern times. This new shirt, for the first time, is available in a female fit version and is made from more modern materials that enhance comfort and adaptability in different environments."
