The police service says, there needs to be a clear distinction of an officer of the law when compared to the criminal element.

The TTPS says, hence the decision to return to old uniforms.

At the police service weekly media briefing yesterday, DCP Junior Benjamin said, the move is all part of the commissioner’s goals for the service.

It is getting the nod of approval from the police social, and welfare association.

President ASP Gideon Dickson tells us today, the materials used should be lighter.

Asp. Dickson also says, the new materials should take the weather conditions into consideration.

In recent weeks police say, criminals have been spotted wearing police gear to execute their crimes and this move will stop them.
