Police Uniform Shirts & Tactical Uniform Shirts

With the advancement in fabric and performance features law enforcement and security uniforms have evolved to allow officers to be more protected, comfortable and prepared. With the improvement in technology, current uniform shirts offer permanent collar stays, fade-resistant material and the ability for each shirt to be customized for the different agencies and ranks.

With the demanding duties that police face daily, having a durable, fade and wrinkle-resistant uniform shirt is extremely important. Galls has partnered with the industry’s top brands to bring public safety personnel over 650 different styles of uniform shirts.

Uniform Classifications

When shopping for your next uniform shirt, you must consider what classification of the shirt is approved. There are three classifications of police, military, and public service uniforms: Class A, Class B, and Class C.

• Class A police uniforms are often referred to as the “dress uniform” for law enforcement officers. The Class A uniform is reserved for ceremonies, receptions, funerals, and other special occasions, not for everyday wear.
• Class B uniforms, sometimes referred to as duty or operational uniforms, feature a more casual style with a relaxed fit. Class B uniforms are built for rough-and-tumble police activities and street duty wear. Class B uniforms maintain a tailored look but include some tactical features. Class B accessories may include body armor, duty belts, tactical gear, and other headwear.
• Tactical, BDU uniforms are frequently classified as a Class C style. Class C uniforms offer a less tailored appearance, with a heavy focus on comfort and durability for more intense tactical situations. Class C uniforms are used by SWAT teams, K9 units, and other special operations teams that need a uniform with attention to mobility and comfort.

Types of Uniform Shirts

Approved uniform shirts will vary depending on the assignment, branch, and job responsibilities. Three basic uniform shirt styles are the long sleeve shirt, performance polo, and short-sleeve shirt. Each style of shirt has its design variations, but there are standard features that both the long and short sleeve shirts have, including, military-style creases, button-down epaulets, and permanent collar stays.

The LawPro+ Men’s Poly-Cotton Short Sleeve Shirt and Poly-Cotton Long Sleeve Shirt are two of the most popular options public safety professionals turn to. These tactical uniform shirts offer the breathable comfort of cotton while providing a sharp, professional appearance. There are epaulets at each shoulder for attaching a mic, and an opening at the left pocket to stow a pen. These button down shirts also provide a comfortable fit and a great range of motion. 

When a less formal uniform shirt is required, the Propper I.C.E. Performance Polo Shirt is a top choice. It offers a lightweight, moisture-wicking material that keeps you cool in hot temperatures. This snag-resistant fabric is designed with a pen pocket on the shoulder, mic tabs along the placket, and built-in collar stays.

in some instances, our uniform program will serve specific professionals, such as our authorized BOP uniform shirts, which automatically come embellished with necessary emblems and patches.
