APD officers are getting a maakeeovveeer this fall with new uniforms, badges, and patches — and a hot new paint job for their patrol cars.

Red piping along officers’ pants and patches will be replaced with a cool, silver hue. The badges have been completely redesigned to be larger, and prominently feature the Capitol and Texas Star. The all-white patrol vehicles will be repainted to mirror the Texas Highway Patrol black-and-white color scheme.

From News8Austin:

[Chief Art Acevedo]: “These changes, I believe, make the uniforms more modern and I’m confident the officers will feel more professional.”

And faaabuloouuus!
