The Garda uniform is being updated to provide more protection, durability and functionality.

The new uniform will consist of a soft shell jacket, a waterproof jacket, blue polo shirt, operational trousers and practical base layers.

It will be delivered to over 13,000 uniform members at 560 Garda stations nationwide, and it's expected to 'go live' in March. 

A key finding of an internal Garda cultural Audit was a desire for a new, practical uniform for frontline gardaí.

This is the third upgrade in 100 years and the first time the Operational Uniform, other than the uniform cap, will feature the Garda Crest.
