As part of on-going efforts to modernize the RCMP uniform, the RCMP is equipping officers with new navy-blue uniform shirts on a province-by-province basis.
Starting on August 15, 2026, frontline RCMP officers at RCMP detachments in Alberta will begin to wear their new navy-blue uniform shirts.
Members of the public should note that RCMP officers may still wear the previous grey uniform shirts for the foreseeable future, meaning they can be seen wearing either the grey or blue shirts on duty.
The RCMP said in a press release they understand that seeing a new uniform colour may cause confusion and that there have been recent incidents of individuals impersonating police.
Members of the public can request an officer provide identification or call a local detachment or 310-RCMP to confirm the RCMP’s presence in an area.
