This is the first time that elements of the uniform, other than the uniform cap, will feature the Garda Crest.The current cap remains in operation, along with wearing of official headwear for religious and cultural reasons and beliefs such as the Turban, Kufi, Topi, Kippah, or Hijab.
"We are all working to ensure that Ireland’s national police and security service remains best placed to meet the needs of an evolving society, and embracing this re-designed, modern uniform is a visual representation of a new era in policing," said Garda Commissioner Harris in a foreword to members."It is my hope that in receiving this new uniform, it will further enhance your sense of pride in being a member of An Garda Síochána as you go about your day-to-day duties.
"Projecting a professional appearance and wearing the uniform of An Garda Síochána with the deep respect it deserves are important because they underscore our overarching mission: Keeping people safe."
