Major crime investigators and officers in specialized units, including Emergency Response Teams, Uniform Gang Enforcement Teams and Underwater Recovery Teams, will continue wearing their existing unit-specific uniforms or plain clothes as required.

The RCMP acknowledges that the change in appearance may prompt questions, particularly following recent incidents involving people impersonating police officers.

Anyone concerned about an officer’s identity is encouraged to ask for official identification. Members of the public can also contact their local RCMP detachment’s non-emergency line to verify whether an officer is working in their area.

The new shirts are part of the RCMP’s ongoing efforts to modernize its uniform while maintaining professionalism and public trust.
