1. The uniforms of the Hong Kong police used to be specially designed.
In terms of police force construction, Britain once took the lead in the world. As early as the early19th century, Britain had a relatively complete police system and police force. For example, in 1826, British police began to use police titles, and Britain was the first country in the world to use police titles. Many advanced experiences of British police are often used for reference by other countries. At that time, at the same time, China was still under the rule of the Qing Dynasty. There was no police at all in the Qing Dynasty, only your officials and officers. These people have some police functions, but they are not exactly the same. Before the Opium War, the Qing Dynasty was always in a state of complacency. 1840 opium war, the Qing dynasty was defeated, so we had to sign the treaty of nanking and cede Hong Kong Island to Britain. At that time, Hong Kong was originally just a fishing village, but the British saw the value of Hong Kong. Hong Kong has the potential to become a natural port. With the construction of Britain, Hong Kong developed rapidly and soon became the "jewel in the crown". With the change of the situation, the national strength of the Qing Dynasty declined, and Britain further controlled Kowloon and the New Territories.
With the rapid development of Hong Kong's economy, more and more people go to Hong Kong for gold. Due to their own problems, many Qing people also entered Hong Kong, which virtually increased the difficulty of management. At first, there were only British police and British Indian police in Hong Kong. However, these people do not understand the language with the local people, so it is very difficult to communicate. And many things need local people to come forward, because local people know the actual situation better. Under such circumstances, Britain began to recruit China police, which is the embryonic form of Hong Kong police. With the sustainable development of Hong Kong and the needs of various problems, the number of police in China is increasing, and later it gradually becomes the main force of the police force. But in order to be different from the British police, the uniforms of the local police in Hong Kong and the British police were completely different at that time. For a long time, Hong Kong police have been wearing green uniforms and green hats. Therefore, it was nicknamed "Datouqing" by the locals. In many Hong Kong dramas, criminal gangs often shout "green clothes are coming", which means the police.
Second, the Hong Kong police have long used military green uniforms.
The big green suit was used for a long time, and it was not until the early 20th century that the Hong Kong police began to change their uniforms. Please note that police uniforms around the world are divided into mainland police uniforms and water police uniforms. The mainland police uniform adopts the style of military green or grass green, which is very close to the color of military uniform, emphasizing deterrence, represented by the Soviet Union, France and other countries. Marine police uniforms are mainly black or navy, emphasizing the difference between the police and the army, mainly in Britain, Japan and other countries. This shows that the British police use navy uniforms. However, in the Hong Kong Police Force, this is not the case. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the local police in Hong Kong began to change the military green uniforms. Especially in summer, it is embarrassing to adopt the mode of shorts and stockings. Navy blue is also used in the uniforms in the Spring and Autumn Period, but the style is different from that of the British police. After 1977, the uniforms of the Hong Kong police were reformed. From 1977 to the return of Hong Kong to the motherland, the police uniform has been a model of military green for 20 years.
In many Hong Kong police dramas in the 1980s and 1990s, the police used this uniform. Compared with the police uniforms before 1977, the police uniforms after 1977 canceled stockings and began to adopt trousers. In the cold season, the police uniforms are very similar to those of the British police. As we all know, 1997, Hong Kong returned to the embrace of the motherland. At that time, the uniforms of the Hong Kong police still used the previous model, but all the signs such as cap badge, armband and bow tie were replaced. 2/kloc-0 At the beginning of the 20th century, the police force in China changed the 99-style uniform, which is the style you see now. Type 99 police uniform adopts navy blue cloth, which belongs to the marine police uniform. After the reunification, the Hong Kong police naturally need to change clothes. In 2005, the Hong Kong Police Force replaced a new generation of police uniforms, which are very similar to the 99-style police uniforms used by mainland police. For example, blue shirts and navy blue coats are similar in color and style, but there are many differences in details.
