Evolution of Indian Police Uniform in Years


Uniforms depict the pride and prejudice of a force and its significance is no less than beauty for a bride. In Indian police, their ‘Khaki' is not just their identity but a symbol of their determination towards serving the nation.
Indian police uniform was never the same as it is today. From half pants to full, it took many additions and emissions for the present-day uniform to come in this form. 

The Khaki Color
Police uniforms used to be white in the 18th century but some soldiers started dying it with mud or teas. Then in 1847, Sir Harry Burnett Lumsden brought in an official uniform in this color called Khaki. The uniform at some places also used to be navy blue.

 The Pants
The pants in the police uniform experienced maximum changes. From balloon pants to half pants then to bell-bottoms and finally, to present-day straight/ narrow pants, the bottom of police uniform traversed through a long journey.

Shirts
Shirts in police uniform shuffled many times between long coat type shirt with police leather belt over it and normal shirt tucked in pants. Many senior police officers still wear long coat type shirts but the basic code in the modern-day uniform is a tucked-in shirt.

Caps
The caps in Indian police also got many transformations. For different ranks, different cap styles are allotted from starting. In initial years, side cap was more prominent for most of the ranks with some additional differences for distinguishing. Afterward, beret cap started to be used for lower ranks and peaked cap for higher ranks. Beret caps are used by higher posts also with badges.

The uniform of Indian police is always transformed to add convenience and comfort for the policeman and further, changes are also expected in the future.
