Before it was khaki, then dark blue. Reportedly starting this year, cops will be donning light blue uniforms.
Recently, Director General Alan Purisima, Philippine National Police (PNP) chief and the rest of the command group started the field testing of the proposed police uniforms during a flag-raising ceremony in Camp Crame.
But wearing of the uniforms would not be cascaded down to lower police units until the PNP gets the approval of the National Police Commission (Napolcom) and the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG).
Unlike the standard PNP dark blue uniform, the new design strips off the shoulder loop and the pinned name plate, which is now embroidered on the uniform.
According to Chief Superintendent Reuben Theodore Sindac, PNP Public Information Office chief, the new set of uniforms would serve as the office attire of policemen nationwide.
