Gardaí are rolling out stylish baseball caps, modernizing their look for officers nationwide. Expect to see them in action this weekend!
Thousands of officers will start wearing them this weekend. They even had a little fashion show at Garda HQ to show them off. It’s all part of a big plan to modernize the Garda uniform.
Last year, they got new clothing, and now it’s time for the caps. Officers will also get a dark blue gilet to wear over their light blue shirts.
These caps are comfy and less formal, which is a nice change. Other countries have already made this shift, so it’s about time Ireland caught up.
Don’t worry, the traditional peaked cap isn’t going anywhere. Officers will still wear it for official events. They’ll keep the shirt and tie for those occasions too.
But wait, there’s more! Gardaí are also testing new gear for motorcyclists. They’re moving away from leather to high-tech, waterproof fabrics. This new gear is being tried out to see if it works for all Garda bikers.
It promises the same protection as leather but is more comfortable and better against the weather. Sounds like a win-win, right?
