00:00Police officers have officially returned to their grey and blue uniform following a mandate
00:06from the top cop to have all tactical gear turned in by yesterday's date.
00:11The move follows an increased number of crimes being committed by criminals dressed in police
00:15tactical uniform, impersonating officers in multiple cases.
00:20As a result, many people have raised concerns about how they can properly verify the authenticity
00:25of someone purporting to be an officer on location.
00:28Speaking with TV6 News at the Princestown Police Station Council Diwali function last
00:33night, Assistant Commissioner of Police Wayne Meister encouraged citizens to demand identification
00:39from officers, as this, together with their TTPS badges, would be very difficult to fake.
00:58We ask all our officers to wear their badges as part of that identification process.
01:06They have badges together with their ID cards.
01:08On the demand of the public, they must identify themselves through these badges and identification cards.
