Seems to me their are several general types of US police uniforms with an infinite number of minor changes.  Mostly you see Black, Dark Blue, Khaki, Green, Light Blue, and White shirt/colored trousers.

What looks the most professional and is most proper for US police????

I'm a traditionalist, give me dark blue (LAPD blue) any day of the week.  





Also, I'll take black & white police cars with red fire trucks please.......

I'm a fan of the brown uniforms that many Sheriff's offices use.

I like the ones that evoke fear in all citizens... you know, so they keep their asses in line.

Blue or Green BDU's.

ETA: I am not a fan of the 'trinkets' of non BDU uniforms...badges, pins, rank insignias, gold on duty belts, etc...YMMV.

I notice southern states police tend to wear stetson style hats.

The local police used to wear grey uniforms with stetsons here, then they changed to dark blue with nLAPD style patrol caps about 20 years ago.

I like Dark Blue.  Idaho State Police look pretty sharp if you ask me.
Many similar style uniforms exist in other agencies.

What's the history of the MA State Police uniforms? They look like they were designed after Nazi uniforms... same can be said for the NJ State Police uniforms as well.


Ther NJSP police were formed in 1914, and really funded in 1921, That's when their uniforms were designed.

MASP were foemed in 1865, and got "formal" in the 1920's, that's when their unifroms were designed, or earlier.

Good to know that it was pre Nazi era. I'm guessing that was the style back then and it stuck over the years...

That was standard military layout at the time. Check out some WW1 era US Army dress uniforms.
