Thread: CBP Uniforms

Just wondering what you guys thought about our new uniforms? Blue pants with black stripe....not feeling it. Im glad we get to wear the rough duty that all im saying!

But there went the cargo pants, shorts, BDU's and T-shirts as acceptable uniforms.

when did this get put out?

What does the whole uniform look like? Is the shirt the same and what about the patches and new badges?

Navy Blue shirt, navy pants with a black stripe. The dress uniform will have a "shorty" type dress coat with the same pants we wear now. No news on badge yet.

badges will not chage for a while. it will take a long time on just a thousand people let alone 20 to 40 thousand people. The new uni's will look the same except that black strip that somone mentioned.

As part of our transition planning activities, representatives from
all legacy agencies developed recommendations on unifying symbols
including uniforms, patches, badges, etc. The adoption of a single
inspectional uniform, as well as an agency-wide patch and badge are
critical steps in achieving "one face at the border." The uniform
also reflects our position within the Department of Homeland Security
as the nation's first line of defense against terrorism.

I am pleased to announce that the new inspectional uniform combines
components of legacy inspectional uniforms in the ports of entry.
In selecting the uniform, I considered the number of officers affected,
CBP's law enforcement image, cost, and the time to implement the chosen
uniform in the ports of entry. I also heard from many of you as I
crisscrossed the country over the last five months. After careful
consideration of all factors, I have selected the following as the
standard uniform for all CBP officers assigned to the ports-of-entry:

* Dress Uniform ? The dress uniform will be comprised of dark
blue trousers with a black stripe and dark blue dress shirt.

* Ceremonial Uniform ? When required, the following items will
be added to the dress uniform to complete the ceremonial uniform: dark
blue Ike jacket with black accents, black tie, brass tie tack, white
gloves, and dark blue felt campaign hat with leather hat band.

* Rough Duty Uniform ? The rough duty uniform will be comprised
of dark blue work trousers and dark blue work shirt.

* Accessories, Footwear, and Outerwear ? Additional items will
be offered in matching dark blue or black colors as appropriate.
Popular footwear and accessories previously offered will continue to
be available.

* Border Patrol Uniform ? The Border Patrol will continue to wear
the traditional green uniform.

I have determined that the cost of the changeover to the new CBP
inspectional uniform should not be borne by the individual officer
and will ensure that all changeover costs above the normal allowance
amount are assumed by the CBP.

The transition to the new CBP uniform will begin in the next several
months and is expected to be complete by July 2004. We will be working
with the unions as we transition to the new uniform. Ordering information
and additional instructions will be provided as soon as they are available.

Questions and answers, as well as an image of the uniform may be
viewed on CBPnet at the following link: http://cnet/xp/cnet/hs/.

I look forward to your support as we make this transition to what will
certainly be one of our most visible unifying symbols.
