Bengaluru: In a significant move to end colonial legacy, the State Police Department is all set to bid goodbye to ‘Slouch Hats’ currently being used by Constables and replace them with ‘Peak Cap’ used by Police Officers from Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) cadre.
The decision is said to have been made during the IPS Officers Annual Conference chaired by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah at State Police Head Quarters on Nrupatunga Road here yesterday. CM Siddaramaiah reviewed the caps used in other States including Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Goa and Delhi and later is said to have instructed the senior Police Officers to decide on the lines of ‘Peak Cap’ even for the Constables.
