Frontline RCMP officers in New Brunswick have begun wearing new uniforms.
The navy blue uniform shirts were introduced in December, but they officially became a part of the dress code in 2026.
This is part of the ongoing efforts to modernize the RCMP uniform.
During the transition period, the public may see frontline officers in navy blue and members on duty in grey uniforms.
“We understand that seeing a new uniform, or two members wearing different coloured shirts, could cause confusion or a sense of unease”, says Corporal Hans Ouellette of the New Brunswick RCMP. “We also understand that there have been incidents of individuals impersonating police. If you have concerns about their identity, call your local police.”
The new uniforms are being introduced on a province-by-province basis.
