Why does the Ministry of Public Security prohibit security guards from wearing police uniforms?

This is because the police uniform is the special uniform of the people's police, an important symbol of the identity of the people's police and an important embodiment of the image of the people's police. In recent years, the illegal production, sale, possession and use of police uniforms have been repeatedly prohibited, and some illegal and criminal activities of using police uniforms to impersonate police officers have seriously affected social order and people's property safety, and seriously affected the image of the people's police force.

The reporter learned from the Ministry of Public Security that the Ministry of Public Security decided to launch a special campaign to crack down on the illegal manufacture and sale of police uniforms from now until the end of this year, put an end to illegal manufacture and sale, and prevent security guards, doormen, parking toll collectors and other personnel from illegally wearing and using police uniforms.
