Uniforms of the Singapore Police Force by jekky
Early uniforms The earliest law enforcement officers in the fledgling colony of Singapore wore no uniforms until in 1856 when the Police Force Act was passed and vested full police powers upon the security forces then in existence paving the way for uniforms to be introduced The first uniforms were dark blue coloured serge coats trousers cap and black shoes White trousers are used for ceremonial parades and special duty This proved unpopular as the thick material was deemed too uncomfortable in the local tropical climate Khakis In 1879 a Commission of Enquiry was formed with the task of evaluating the existing uniform and in 1890 khaki was formally introduced The khaki uniform comprised a black headdress locally known as the Songkok khaki shirt and short pants black puttees and ankle boots Strict regulations requiring them to be heavily starched and ironed produced a cardboard like material which stood out unnaturally The white gaiters were removed as it was difficult to keep them clean although they remained part of the ceremonial uniform till 1910 As the Second World War drew to a close in 1945 the khaki uniform was updated with the black beret replacing the Songkok and completed by blue grey flannel shirt brown khaki short pants dark blue hosetops black boots and leather belt and a navy blue whistle lanyard This uniform became the primary uniform used throughout the force and was last worn in 1971 The Marine Police wore a white version of the khaki uniform Modern uniforms Police National Service officers contribute to security coverage requirements at the National Day Parade 2004 Shown left is a full time serviceman and he is accompanied at right by a Police National Serviceman reservist In 1969 dacron blue made a comeback to the uniform with a force wide change away from khaki The new uniform comprises a dark blue peak cap shirt trousers black belt shoes and socks and coded whistle lanyard in blue and white 3 large and 4 small metal buttons metal collar badges and a metal cap badge are affixed and a black plastic name tag completes the uniform Metallic ranks if any are fixed to the sleeve or on the shoulders for senior officers The lanyard was changed to a metal chain in 1972 and in 1985 the material of the uniform was changed from 75 polyester 25 cotton to 100 polyester for a smarter bearing and turnout Number 3 Uniforms Derivatives of the standard blue uniform collectively called the no 3 uniform was adopted for specialised forces and for all officers in various occasions which calls for more formal or casual attire The Traffic Police Department was amongst the few to move away from the all blue attire adopting a short sleeved white tunic dark blue breeches a black leather Sam Browne belt and riding boots for its officers performing mobile squad duties A white crash helmet is worn when on the move while a new dark blue jockey cap with chequered white and dark blue patterns around its circumference is worn when convenient while performing static duty Members of the Vigilante Corps are also attired by a white short sleeved top similar in design to the dark blue version for normal officers gold coloured buttons and badges and a dark blue beret in place of the peak cap Gurkha No 3 The Gurkha Contingent marches past at the Police Day Parade 2005 held for the last time at the Police academy grounds in Thomson Road The officers are dressed in the no 3 dress and carry the M16 rifle The Gurkha Contingent trooper s no 3 dress also called the working dress is for general duties including guard duties and on parade The dark blue outfit largely adapted from the Singapore Police Force includes the standard two front breast pockets on the shirt with aluminium anodised collar badges buttons and a black plastic name tag atop the right breast pocket Since removed in the rest of the SPF but retained by the GC are the chromed service number pinned above the name tag and the whistle and chain The shirt is long sleeved and neatly folded up unlike the short sleeved versions adopted for the no 3 dress of the SPF The sleeves are rolled down when the sun sets and rolled up again when the sun rises GC trooper continue to wear aluminium badges of rank which are worn on the right sleeve 11 5 centimetres below the right shoulder strap Constables wear aluminium bars at the outer edges of the shoulder straps The dark blue trousers are secured by the two pronged black leather Garrison Belt and completed by standard issued black leather boots The trooper wears the Hat Terrai Gurkha when on guard duty and while on parade While on guard duty he is armed with a pistol and magazine pouch worn on the belt and with the Kukri affixed to the back of his belt Additional weaponry and equipment may be issued depending on situational needs When not on duty the officer dons a newly produced brown beret with the metal police cap badge similar to older berets worn by combat officers of the SPF Senior Gurkha officers are distinguished by a gold flash on the cap badge The Duty Unit Sergeant wears an additional red sash with the uniform Number 4 Uniforms Combat uniforms has also been adopted for specialist units such as those from the Special Operations Command and the Police Coast Guard PCG collectively known as the No 4 uniforms These involve the replacement of metal buttons with sewn on plastic ones the avoidance of all other metallic accruements which are deemed potentially hazardous to the officer or to others and the use of long sleeved shirts SOC officers wear combat boots while officers in PCG use lace up leather shoes with non slip soles These units also tend to adopt the beret as their headgear although PCG officers use the baseball cap while on operational duties There was no major change to the uniform since then except for the adoption of embroidered shoulder ranks and badges for all ranks in the 1990s Other changes are less distinct such as the upgrading of shoes used the change of the belt material and belt buckle to one including the police crest and changes to the peak cap to a more durable and ventilated version Gurkha No 4 Members of the Gurkha Contingent gathering at Raffles City during the 117th IOC Session These officers are off duty and hence wear the beret with their no 4 dress Gurkha officer in new combat dress Dress No 4 and armed with Remington 870 shotgun during the Shangri La Dialogue on 1 June 2007 The Gurkha no 4 dress is adapted from the combat dress of their regular counterparts and is also known as the night dress as they are worn during night duty They are also worn for civil security duty and training as well as range practices at any time of the day The long sleeves of the dark blue shirt is similarly rolled up and down depending on duty requirements and time of day and is devoid of metal accruements Junior officers wear their service numbers using white embroidered lettering on a dark blue Velcro backing fixed above their right breast pocket Ranks are sewn on the right sleeves and made of embroidered white cloth The dark blue trousers are tucked into combat boots and is topped by a dark blue beret In recent years the GC has increasingly adopted the no 4 dress for active duty in public places incorporating elements from the no 3 dress Officers on duty during the National Day Parade and the 117th IOC Session wear the no 4 dress but with the Hat Terrai Gurkha The shirt sleeves are rolled up and includes the metal whistle and chain In addition the rank is not sewn to the sleeves but worn on a dark blue tab affixed to the right breast pocket with the rank in silver embroidered thread similar to that currently used by regular officers Less often seen but formally in frequent use during rioting incidents is the fire resistant version of the combat dress which feature zipper breast pockets and on the trousers Gurkha officers may also wear the jungle dress with camouflage coloured uniforms based on the British Army DPM and jockey cap or khaki coloured beret and complemented by various forms of webbing for paramilitary and military training duties in rural and forested areas combat fitness training and when dispatched out of Singapore for overseas exercises Uniform reviews from 2000 onwards Police Tactical Unit officers on patrol during the Shangri La Dialogue on 1 June 2007 sporting new uniforms and the signature red berets A series of reviews and changes to the uniforms took place across the various police units from the 2000s onwards In 2002 the whistle chain was completely removed from all uniforms except for some uniforms worn by the Gurkha Contingent in the police force the National Police Cadet Corps as well as amongst CISCO officers The new all cotton combat uniform for the Police National Service Key Installation KINS Protection Units was introduced in the same year Amongst land divisions the Number 3 uniform also known as the working dress was enhanced with the buttons sewn on instead of using metal rings previously in 2004 while the name tag was changed from using a metal pin to Velcro for affixing to the uniform In 2006 riveted buttons which were considered to be more secure were introduced to replace the sewn on buttons The trousers come with additional side pockets mid way down the thighs with the main purpose of providing a convenient location for the M pod a PDA sized gadget slated to be launched Separately the Police Maternity Dress was also introduced For the specialist divisions the Police Tactical Unit changed their beret from dark blue to maroon in 2005 The combat uniform was also redesigned to a more loose fitting attire with utility pockets and the material changed to a cotton polyester mix which is more durable and fire resistant The colour of the uniform is also changed to a darker shade of blue for tactical purposes High heel boots with gutters were also introduced The Police Coast Guard introduced a new set of uniforms comprising of a helmet dark blue polo top and Bermudas for officers performing patrolling duties on Pulau Ubin using bicycles Also their officers will be changing into a combat uniform which is alike to those issue to the Police Tactical Unit From 30 September 2005 new duty belts made of synthetic leather were introduced force wide replacing the former practise of securing items individually on the trouser belt First utilised by officers in Central Police Division on a trial run basis the new belt comprises two layers fastened together by velcro strips allowing for equipment to be removed with ease and a more comfortable and lighter fit for front line officers The belt together with the handcuff pouch bullet pouch T baton and revolver holster are now personally issued to all regular full time police national servicemen and Volunteer Special Constabulary officers The old leather belts will however continue to be in use during non front line and administrative duties as well as during appropriate functions Gurkha 2006 changes In 2006 the GC implemented its biggest change to its uniform since the adoption of the present uniform three decades ago just prior to the commencement of the 61st Annual Meetings of the Boards of Governors of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group as part of Singapore 2006 Khaki coloured berets in place of the dark blue beret The combat dress Dress No 4 was changed to a cotton polyester material to match those adopted by other specialised units of the SPF such as the Special Operations Command and the Police Coast Guard albeit with a slightly darker shade of blue Police Coast Guard Variant New uniforms of the Police Coast Guard on display at the Police Carnival 2006 The evolution of uniforms worn by the Police Coast Guard largely mirrors that for the land based divisions with its earliest uniforms reflecting British heritage and influence Early uniforms are based on that of navy sailors consisting of an all white attire of long sleeved shirts and short pants Officers wore the same Khaki based uniforms which were introduced in the land divisions from 1890 before switching to the dacron blue uniform in 1969 along with the rest of the police force When the Marine Police was reorganised and renamed as the Police Coast Guard in 1993 the uniform was also changed to the Combat or No 4 Uniform This uniform consisted of a long sleeved shirt and long pants made of a slightly tougher polyester and does away with almost all metal parts via the use of velcro and plastic buttons They don a blue beret but are permitted to wear a baseball cap while on operational duties Footwear is in the form of lace up leather shoes with non slip soles Unlike the Combat Uniform worn by other units in the police force the uniform adopted hidden plastic buttons to avoid entanglements and does away with gutters since shoes and not boots are worn to allow rapid removal should water entry be required In May 2005 the island Patrol Uniform was introduced consisting of a helmet dark blue polo top and Bermudas for officers performing bicycle patrol duties on Pulau Ubin These were introduced to project a softer image on the island where recreational activities abound and to provide greater comfort for the officers in the humid outdoor weather As part of a force wide review of the police uniforms the PCG adopted the new combat uniform similar to that currently worn by the Special Operations Command albeit with a darker shade of blue While they were introduced to overcome existing limitations of the current uniform such as allowing for less hindrance in body movement due to the more relaxed fit and its non flammable properties they met with opposition from some officers who feel it projects the wrong image to the general public including its technician look Officers began to don the new combat uniform from 21 August 2006 Notes New Police Coast
