Meeting underway to finalise new uniform designs for police, RAB, Ansar
Dhaka, 20 Jan - After months of discussion over reforms and uniform changes for law enforcement agencies, the government is set to introduce new attire for the police, Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) and Ansar.
According to reliable sources, the Home Ministry's advisory council is expected to approve the new uniforms at a meeting today (Monday).
Meanwhile, representatives from the police, Ansar, and RAB entered the meeting wearing 18 different uniform prototypes.
“These designs are under consideration, and a final decision is anticipated to be made during the session,” said an official wishing anonymity.
The initiative for this reform gained momentum following deliberations on police reforms, which began after August 5 last year.
The upcoming changes aim to modernise the appearance of law enforcement personnel while aligning with their functional and operational requirements.
Officials have indicated that the selected uniforms will reflect a combination of practicality and professionalism, ensuring better identification and uniformity across the forces.
Further details about the finalised designs and implementation timeline are expected to be announced following the meeting.
