The Police's Reason For Choosing The Beige Color In The New Uniform Of Security Guards

JAKARTA - The National Police stated the reason for choosing the beige color behind the change in the uniform of the security unit (security guard). This is because the beige color is closely related to brown, which is the uniform color of the Bhayangkara Corps.

"The beige color is a derived color from brown with lighter gradations, so it is still in the category of the Police uniform color clump," said Karo Penmas, Police Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Ahmad Ramadhan, to reporters, Thursday, February 3.

In addition, the selection of beige color is also to maintain the morale of the security guard. Where, one of their functions, namely carrying out the police is limited.

"So that a harmonious cooperative relationship is created between the coaches (Polri) and those who are fostered (security guards)," he said.

Then, the beige color is also considered the most suitable with the brown color on the pants in the security guard uniform. Including other attributes such as, Field Cap, Pet, Shoes, Couplings and Straps.

However, the main reason for choosing the color beige is to form the identity of the security guard. So, there is no similarity with the Police and other institutions.

"The beige color was chosen to anticipate if in practice color distortion will occur again and it will not be similar to institutions that have the same duties and functions," said Ramadhan. The security guard now has a new identity in carrying out its function as a limited police force.

The color of the official security guard uniform changed. If previously it was similar to a police uniform, now it has been replaced with a beige outfit and brown pants.

In addition, the National Police Chief also hopes that with the change in uniform, security guards can carry out their duties better. This is because security guards are expected to detect crimes early so that preventive measures can be taken.

"Security guards are expected to be able to detect potential crimes early on and be able to take preventive and fast action as part of predictive policing," said Sigit.

"Currently, the security forces have an increasingly important role in the maintenance of Kamtibmas," he continued.
