Police Cap Indonesia

In Indonesia, the dark brown police cap (often referred to as coklat or coklat tua) is the standard headgear for the daily duties of the National Police (POLRI). In Indonesian culture, the color brown symbolizes stability, strength, and connection to the earth.

• Topi Pet (Peaked Cap): This is the classic peaked cap worn by the PDH (Pakaian Dinas Harian), the daily uniform. The decoration on the cap indicates the rank:
• Bintara (Non-Commissioned Officers): A simple brown cap without gold decorations on the peak.
• Pama (Perwira Pertama - Lower-ranking Officers): Features a single gold decoration (often in the form of rice and cotton stalks).
• Pamen (Perwira Menengah - Middle Officers): Richer gold decorations on the peak.

Features

• Insignia: The gold emblem of the Indonesian police is located on the front, often with the motto "Rastra Sewakotama."
• Material: Modern caps are often made of a polyester or cotton blend to withstand the tropical climate.
