With the new blue and yellow operational clothing, the officers should be even easier to recognize during special operations, such as demonstrations.
Bavaria’s Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann (CSU) presented new police vests in Nuremberg on Monday. With the new blue and yellow operational clothing, the officials are even easier to recognize during special operations, such as demonstrations or major events, said the minister. This applies in particular to civilian forces who are called in at short notice for large police operations.
The attack in the Olympia shopping center in Munich in 2016 showed how important it is to be able to distinguish plainclothes police officers from uninvolved citizens and perpetrators in dangerous situations.
