Alberta’s RCMP officers will soon be donning a new look.
Starting Aug. 15, front-line RCMP officers at Alberta detachments will begin to wear new navy blue shirts.
The changes have been rolling out across Canada since last October, when Mounties in Prince Edward Island began wearing the new look.

Earlier this summer, the RCMP also announced the upcoming modernization of their police vehicles featuring an industry-standard livery.
Alberta RCMP say officers may still be wearing the current grey uniform shirts during the transition period.

“The RCMP understands seeing a new uniform colour may cause confusion,” Mounties wrote in a statement Wednesday.
“There have been recent incidents of individuals impersonating police. If you have any concerns about the identity of a police officer you are interacting with, you can ask the officer for identification.”
Mounties also say you can contact your local detachment’s non-emergency line to determine if there is a police officer at your location.

There are a shortage of RCMP officers across Canada. Rural municipalities contracts with the RCMP are not being fulfilled. And the RCMP spends money on a new uniform. Alberta needs it’s own police like other provinces.
Need to get rid of the turbans, it’s call a uniform for a reason.
