The Indian police are not only identified with their work but also with their “Khaki” uniform. That’s why we recognize the police from the distance. The true identity of the Indian police uniform is its color KHAKI. Every policeman loves their uniform because it’s proud of them.Why police wear khaki uniform
It is not that the police of every place only use the KHAKI uniform. The Kolkata police still carry white uniforms, while the Western Bengal police use Khaki uniforms. But have you ever wondered why the police color is only khaki? Why isn’t any other color given to Police?
So, let’s discuss the reason:-
When the British arrived in India, the uniforms of the Indian police department were white instead of Khaki. But the problem with the uniform often was that it was dirty quickly during the long duty work. For this reason, the police had to face many problems.
Later, British officers have occurred to them a plan to change the uniform. During this time, police officers have made a dye whose color was “Khaki”. The tea leaves have been used to make this color, however, synthetic dyes are now used. After this, the police gradually changed the color of their white uniforms to Khaki. The khaki color is a mixture of pale and brown yellow.
100 years before the independence of the country, Sir Henry Lawrence, agent of the governor of the “Northwest Edge”, officially adopted the Khaki color in 1847 after seeing the police with a Khaki uniform.
Lawrence has collected the “body of driving force” in Lahore in December 1846. This force was a regiment of the British Indian army that formed to serve on the northwest border.

Lawrence raised the “body of driving force” in Lahore in December 1846. This force was a regiment in this way, the official uniform of the Indian police department has changed “Blanco” to “Khaki”, which is still you are Using today.
Recently, the police force of the central reserve (CRPF), the largest paramilitary force in the country, has moved a proposal that has tried to change the KAKI uniform of its staff over 3 Lakh to give the identity separate to CRPF.
