Every state in the U.S. has a police force and unique uniform. Every state’s uniform includes unique colors and accessories. The team at Wizard Pins put together a colorful visual that lets us examine similarities and differences at a glance. This chart is a great source for research and the perfect reference for costumes, illustrations and more.

Every state uniform has pieces in common. They all include pants, button-down shirt, tie, hat, patch, and badge. They biggest differences are found in the colors of the pants and shirts and the designs on the badges and patches. Many states opt to mimic their crest on the state flag, and most of them feature something unique to the state like a state tree. The most common colors found in the uniforms are black, brown, blue, gray, and green. The color of the stripe down the side of the pants is another quick indicator of which state the uniform belongs to.

Here is just a taste of this colorful visual, you can find the complete chart of all 50 state police uniforms here.
