As part of its ongoing reforms and Strategic Development Plan (2025-2029), the Sierra Leone Police (SLP) has imported four containers of full-kit combat uniforms to ensure a unified and professional appearance for all police officers nationwide.
The uniforms were officially offloaded at the Police Field in Kingtom in the presence of senior officers and logistics personnel. This development marks a major step in the SLP’s commitment to promoting discipline, identity, and operational efficiency.
Commenting on the achievement, the Inspector General of Police, William Fayia Sellu, expressed satisfaction with the progress. “This marks a significant milestone. Seeing our officers dressed uniformly enhances our institutional identity and projects a more professional image to the public,” he stated.
IGP Sellu emphasized that uniformity in police attire fosters a sense of belonging, improves visibility, and strengthens public trust. “The era of different colours and inconsistent uniforms in the Force is over. From now on, we are moving toward a single, standardized appearance,” he affirmed.
He further explained that the distribution process will be carried out in phases until every officer in the country is fully equipped. “This is just the beginning. Eventually, every officer will be provided with the standard uniform to promote cohesion and easy identification.”
The Inspector General concluded by encouraging officers to wear their uniforms with pride, remain smart and presentable, and always uphold the dignity of the Force.
