Bangladesh Police have expressed a strong preference to return to the uniform used during the Awami League administration, with over 90 percent of members reportedly supporting the move. The Police Headquarters has already sent the collective opinions of all units to the Ministry of Home Affairs, but no final decision has been made. This has led to a stalemate over whether the force will revert to the old design or adopt a new one. The ministry is reportedly cautious, fearing that the old uniform could reignite political controversy linked to past unrest.
The debate over police attire began after the 2024 interim government introduced a new uniform to distance the force from earlier political symbolism. However, dissatisfaction grew among officers, who argued that the new design undermined morale and professionalism. The old blue-olive mix uniform, they said, was more recognizable and comfortable. Senior officials, however, worry that returning to it could revive memories of the July uprising.
The ministry is now reviewing several modernized design options, including new colors and fabrics suited to Bangladesh’s climate. Officials aim to balance tradition with modernization while avoiding political bias.
