COMMISSIONERATE POLICE ASKS COPS TO REMOVE TATTOOS VISIBLE WHILE WEARING UNIFORM

Bhubaneswar (10/04/2024): The Commissionerate Police on Wednesday asked the police personnel to remove tattoos on their body parts easily noticeable while in uniform. An order issued in this regard stated, "A good number of unit men are found making tattoos on their body parts which demeans the image of the Battalion as well as Odisha Police since these are offensive, obscene and derogatory in nature.

After careful consideration, it has been decided that from today onwards tattoos that are visible while waiting uniform are not permitted.

All Guard I/CS are directed to make a list of men having tattoos on their body parts easily noticeable while wearing uniform and ask them to permanently remove those within fifteen days from the date of receiving the orders, failing which necessary departmental actions as deemed fit shall be initiated against the wrongdoers.

Once again, it is advised to avoid getting inked the face, neck and hand to maintain a level of professionalism.".
