BRITISH COLUMBIA — Frontline RCMP officers across B.C. are receiving navy-blue uniform shirts as the police force replaces its traditional grey shirts.
The BC RCMP announced the provincial rollout on October 27. Officers began wearing the new shirts in October, following the national rollout that started in spring 2025. During the transition, officers may wear either colour. Both shirts are official RCMP attire, and grey shirts may remain in service for the foreseeable future.
Major crime investigators and officers in specialized units will continue wearing their existing uniforms or plain clothes when required.
Residents who are unsure whether someone is an RCMP officer can ask to see official identification. They can also contact their local RCMP detachment’s non-emergency line to confirm whether an officer is working in their area.
