Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office Switches to Green Uniforms

Four Cherokee County deputies in green uniforms stand outside the Sheriff’s Office in Centre, Alabama.

CENTRE– The Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office has switched to all-green uniforms after years of outfitting deputies in tan and brown. A supply problem prompted the switch, but it also gave the office a chance to choose a lighter uniform.

The Sheriff’s Office said its previous uniform manufacturer stopped making the brown color it had used. As a result, matching that particular shade became difficult.

The office chose a lighter, more flexible fabric to help deputies stay comfortable on duty. It also shared a photo of four deputies wearing the new green shirts and trousers outside the Sheriff’s Office.
