Expect a major change on the uniform of the Philippine National Police (PNP) by next year.
Chief Supt. Reuben Theodore Sindac, chief of PNP Public Information Office (PIO), said the PNP leadership confirmed that it is now field-testing a proposed new uniform that will be worn by its 150,000 personnel in the future, with an official saying that they expect to have new sets of uniform by next year.
Sindac said the uniform should be functional, durable, and comfortable to allow policemen to perform their job comfortably.
The first set of the uniform was already presented to the police community, worn by the top four ranking police officials led by PNP Chief Director General Alan Purisima, during Monday’s flag-raising ceremony.
The uniform worn by two police officials during the flag-raising ceremony was the proposed General Office Attire (GOA).
Sindac said the set of uniform was among the top choice from a number of designs presented to the PNP leadership last year.
The proposed uniforms, Sindac said, will be covered by the P14,000 uniform allowance being given to the police every three years.
Sindac also boasts of the security features of the proposed new uniforms which would be hard to copy.
Sindac added that Congress will pass law to have a stiffer penalty for unauthorized wearing of police uniforms.
If ever, this will be the third time the PNP organization will change uniforms since its establishment in 1991 -- the first one was the khaki-colored uniform.
