Bangladesh Police have begun wearing a new iron-colored uniform across metropolitan and specialized units, sparking mixed reactions from the public and within the force. Some citizens and officers praised the new design, while others criticized it as unnecessary spending, arguing that changing uniforms will not improve police behavior or public trust. Former Inspector General of Police Mohammad Nurul Huda and other experts stated that uniform changes have no proven link to performance or ethics, emphasizing the need to end political interference and ensure accountability instead. Critics also noted the lack of a formal launch event and confusion with private security uniforms. The police headquarters said distribution is 20% complete and aims to outfit all Dhaka Metropolitan Police members by November 30. Analysts suggested that unless broader institutional reforms follow, the new attire will have little impact on the force’s image or conduct.
