Africa-Press – Mauritius. The police are wearing their new uniform as of Monday, October 11.
This new outfit was approved during the Council of Ministers on October 1.
It should be remembered that the police decided to change their uniforms to distinguish themselves from professions requiring the wearing of a blue uniform, such as the guards of security companies.
The new police uniform includes additions such as an embroidered badge on one of the triangular pockets of the shirt, a gray on the seams of the pants and skirts and the silver metal badge of the Mauritius Police Force on the collar, between others.
However, the police officers who received their new uniform and were able to examine it closely, are already complaining about their quality.
Listening to them, he would be more fragile.
“So kalité pa good.
Latoil-la pli mins konparé ar ansien iniform la ek so sintir mins osi.
Revolver or tonfa stick mem not pou tini well, ”said a policeman.
In addition, officers complain about the quantity of uniforms received.
“We used to have three or four spare parts and this time we only got two.
An inspector can change his uniform twice in a day.
For example, if he had to attend an autopsy during the day and he has to come back to work in the evening.
How long will he have to wash it and especially let it dry, “wondered another policeman.
Remember that police officers are entitled to new uniforms every year.
A source at the Central Barracks explains that if this time the officers did not receive the usual number of uniforms, they will receive more in the future.
