Civilians can soon buy clothing, perfumes, water bottles, caps and other products offered by the Mumbai police’s own brand, commissioner Sanjay Pandey announced through his Facebook account on Sunday. Speaking to mid-day, the city police chief said the project is in process and the products will be available in the market by April-end.

The newly appointed police commissioner has been praised for his efforts on social media for the number of initiatives he has undertaken since he was appointed city police commissioner in February.
Pandey, on social media, said that the brand will offer clothing and other products including water bottles, perfumes, tracks and hoodies with Mumbai Police’s name and logo. “This is for the citizens. It will look different from the police uniform. We will sell the products in a showroom, with a third party, and the money earned through this will go to the police welfare fund,” Pandey said.
He added, “The contracts will be given as per the government’s rules and we have already started distributing caps. We expect that everything will be on the platform by the end of April. Currently, we are promoting the same to see the kind of feedback we get.”

Pandey had come up with a similar initiative while he was holding charge as Maharashtra DGP before he was transferred as Mumbai Police commissioner. ”This is not a one-day idea, I started a similar initiative during my tenure as Maharashtra DGP. However, I was transferred.
The contract will be given to those who pay us a good amount so that we can raise funds for Mumbai police,” Pandey told mid-day.
Sources said the prices for each product will be decided by the force. Police officers, who have been assigned this task, are expecting to finalise the contractor, among other things, by next Sunday.
When asked if miscreants can misuse the clothing offered by the brand and impersonate themselves as cops, Pandey said, “The clothing will be different from a police uniform. We are making it clear that this is meant for civilians only and will be available in showrooms for everyone, so there is no question of misusing the same.”
“This is similar to how we raise funds through Umang and now we are going to raise funds through merchandise,” he added.
