According to him, cops at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and in Zone 5 of downtown Atlanta would begin donning the uniforms in August.
The new guys will be the department’s uniform for about three months in 2026, which is precisely thirty years after the city hosted the Olympics.
According to a police official, no extra money was needed to purchase the new designs. According to the chief, the expense is a component of the department’s yearly uniform update.

According to the chief, the outfit will feature lightweight materials and UV protection to keep officers safe and comfortable throughout the hot months, as they will be expected to work long hours next summer due to the influx of soccer fans and visitors.
The most noticeable aspect of the new style is its light blue checkered pattern, which is comparable to what police officers in Scotland, Australia, New Zealand, Chicago, and Pittsburgh wear.
The design encircles the back, arms, and legs and covers portions of the shirt and pants. According to the chief, maintaining the department’s traditional dark blue color across the rest of the ensemble was a top concern.

According to Schierbaum, cops have responded favorably to the uniforms thus far. He said he was thrilled that the current Atlanta police force would have the opportunity to defend the city during the World Cup.
The chief stated, “We want Atlanta and the world to know that we are preparing to welcome you back here to the best city in the world.” Thirty years ago, it was the Olympics. It’s our turn now.
