What Do Chilean Police Officers Wear? Uniforms by Division
Modern Chilean police officers wear uniforms tailored to their division. Carabineros use military-style green uniforms with caps and ceremonial gear, while PDI officers wear tactical or civilian-style uniforms for investigative work. Uniforms vary by role—patrol, traffic, special forces—and use fabrics like ripstop, poly-cotton, or ballistic mesh. Division-specific insignia and regional adaptation define each uniform’s structure and visual identity.
