Police uniform over the years (1955-1966)
Headgear: Tschako, trousers: combat trousers with boots

1946 - 1955:
Officers of the guard service wore a dark blue uniform, which was strongly based on the British uniform. Some of the uniforms from the National Socialist era had been dyed blue after the insignia had been removed. In 1955, the dark blue uniform was replaced by a light green uniform.

1955 - 1966 (can be seen in the picture)
Light green uniform with four patch pockets, belt was worn over it (military style without national coat of arms on the sleeve)
Headgear: depending on the occasion, the officers wore the robust, black tchako or a green cap.

1966 - 1978:
Light green uniform in a jacket cut (civilian style with national coat of arms on the left sleeve). Only the officers of the riot police continued to wear the military cut without a jacket after 1966 until the early 1970s. This included a light green peaked cap.

1978 - 2011:
Dark green uniform with jacket cut civilian style with national coat of arms on the left sleeve, yellow shirts, brown pants (designer: Heinz Oestergaard)

2011 - until today:
The blue uniform was introduced nationwide with the idea of standardization in the European Union. It includes a white or dark blue peaked cap. The outer cover for the protective vest with neon trim was introduced in 2018. Softshell jackets have also been available since 2021.

Trousers and headgear exist and have always existed for different areas of use in various designs, e.g. tactical pants, cloth pants, riding pants, coats, raincoats and jackets, cycling clothing
