Botswana Police Service not Re-branding

The re-branding of some police fleet has raised questions from some members of the society and the media as to whether the look of the Botswana Police Service is completely changing. 

The Botswana Police Service is not re-branding its fleet but has modified the look of the latest vehicles as a pilot project in an effort to improve on response time and visibility of police patrol cars especially at night. The re-branding includes reflective stripe and chevron stripes and the traditional blue police colours and logo has been maintained. 

The police have over the years been inundated with concerns from members of the public about slow response to reports of crime and other incidents, hence the need to increase the number of patrol cars in the greater Gaborone area. Although the Botswana Police Service has been expanding both its fleet and personnel, the public concerns on response time were not muted. The re-branding exercise is part of the plan to answer the public concerns and further expand both its fleet and personnel.
