Officers and sergeants with the Columbus Division of Police in Columbus, Ohio, USA, will soon have a new look when they patrol city streets and respond to calls for service.
Opting for comfort over formality, the division is phasing out daily use of the white shirts and eight-point hats that have for decades been staples. Officers will instead transition to wearing a navy blue, polyester-blend shirt with an optional matching blue baseball cap. The division’s navy blue pants will remain the same. The new uniform will be implemented across the division throughout the first half of 2022.
