The interim government took the issue of changing the uniform of the police force seriously as part of its reforms. The new uniform has already been made and is being supplied to the police. The Dhaka Metropolitan Police has started performing duties in the new uniforms for a few days now. Police members wearing the new uniforms are seen performing their duties in different areas of the capital.

The new police uniform has generated mixed reactions within the force and among the general public. Most ordinary people say that the new uniforms of the police are not good. On the other hand, many say that they are good. They hope that with the new uniforms, the mentality of the force will also change and they will truly stand by the people as friends.

Again, many within the police force are not satisfied with this uniform. According to the Ministry of Home Affairs, the interim government approved a new uniform for the police after demands for reform and changes in the uniform of the police force, which has been under criticism since allegations of repression during the anti-discrimination movement were raised. As part of this, new uniforms in iron color have been made. All police units such as the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI), Tourist Police, Highway Police, and Naval Police will all wear the same uniform.

According to sources at the police headquarters, currently the uniform colors of the district police and the metropolitan police are different. But the new uniform will be the same color for everyone. It was said that all metropolitan police members, including the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP), will be able to wear the new uniform from November 16. It has started in Dhaka. It is said that it will take a few more days to get the new uniform of the district police.

On November 16, the distribution of new uniforms to various police units, including the Dhaka Metropolitan Police, began. Many police members are also performing their duties in the field wearing the new uniforms. However, the entire force has not yet been given new uniforms. In the initial stage, the uniforms will be given to the Metropolitan Police, and later, the units including the Range Police will be given gradually.

The new uniforms worn by police officers in Dhaka are creating mixed reactions on social media. Many are posting pictures of the new uniforms and criticizing them, while others are praising them.

Some people are comparing the new police uniforms with the security guard uniforms through various posts on social media. They are writing that these are security guard uniforms, not the uniforms of a professional police force. These uniforms will not have any psychological impact on the minds of criminals. Therefore, the police should have thought more before changing their uniforms.

Along with criticism, there is also praise. Many people, from ordinary people to students, feel that the police uniforms are fitting. The stain of their past actions on their previous uniforms has been removed.
