TAIWAN — Po po from Taiwan's National Police Agency have finally gotten a uniform upgrade after wearing the old gray getup for over 30 years. <br />According to the Central News Agency, Taiwan's finest are now rocking a new dark blue shirt with blue pants, that have been designed to be more durable and comfortable—and also to less look like a crossing guard. <br />The shirt pocket buttons have been tossed and replaced with velcro for easier access. Here's a question though—when's the last time you actually saw a Taiwanese cop ever use his or her shirt pockets?<br />And of course no new police uniform would be complete without a proper snapback made from breathable mesh to reduce sweating. But honestly—it's Taiwan, those guys will be sweating either way. <br />The pants also have been equipped with more pockets as well as having the knees reinforced with two layers of fabric for extra durability. <br />The old hall monitor gray uniforms have been in use since 1987. Apparently, the police have been experimenting with different uniforms since 2016, but recently decided on the blue ones.<br /><br />Guess they really are the boys—and girls—in blue now.
