After the founding of New China, the police changed their clothes several times.

Since the founding of New China, according to the needs of the development of the situation, the uniforms of the people's police have undergone seven reforms, including 49, 55, 58, 66, 72, 83 and 99. Today, with the in-depth development of China's reform and opening up situation, new requirements are put forward for people's police uniforms. Therefore, with the approval of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, the Ministry of Public Security organized the "99" style police uniform reform. The color of "99" police uniform is navy blue, which is consistent with the mainstream color of international police uniforms. Functionally, it emphasizes meeting the needs of police law enforcement, which is completely different from military uniforms and meets the requirements of majesty, simplicity, eye-catching, generous spirit and convenient duty. The "99" police uniform not only embodies the dignity of law enforcers, but also makes the masses feel cordial, forming a police uniform system with distinctive characteristics of the times.
