来源：国际在线


Police in India's Western state of Gujarat are to wear new uniforms impregnated with the fragrance of flowers and citrus to help improve their image.

\"Most policemen look hassled, drenched in sweat after coming from any scene of crime,\" said Somesh Singh, a designer at the National Institute of Design in Ahmedabad that drew up the uniforms on request of the state government.

\"They are surely not the best person one would like to meet, but if they smell good and fresh one might as well approach them,\" said Singh.

The uniforms, to be introduced in the next few months to the state's 300,000 police, use cotton with a fragrant finish, reflective prints and fibre optic technology to make sure the uniform not only smells good but glows at night so officials can be located easily .

The uniforms will retain the scent even after washing as the fragrance is embedded in the cotton during processing.

Some police say they are eager to try out the new uniforms.

\"We are tired wearing the thick cotton brown colour uniform with a broad belt and plastic badges for several decades now,\" said R.K. Patel a senior police officer.

\"If the new uniforms makes us stand out in the crowd, keeps us active with pleasant aroma and is yet very formal, then we are all for it.\"

印度西部地区的古吉拉特邦警察为了改变在民众心目中的形象，准备于近期开始穿着带有鲜花和柑橘香味的新式警服。

据路透社3月13日报道，艾哈迈德巴德市的印度国家设计研究院的设计师索迈什·辛格表示：“大部分警察从犯罪现场归来后都汗流浃背、心烦意乱，如果他们身上的警服能够发出某些淡雅新鲜的气味，那么人们也许更愿意亲近他们。”

这些香味警服将会在未来几个月内逐步配发给古吉拉特邦的30万名警察，由于采用了表面带有香味的棉布和反光印花图案和光学纤维技术，这些警服不仅能发出好闻的气味，还能在夜间闪闪发光，让人们更容易找到他们。

由于在制造过程中已经将香味深深融入棉布内部，所以这种警服即使在洗过以后也依然会“香气袭人”。

报道说，有警察已经迫不及待的想尝试一下这种新式警服。一名警官表示：“我们几十年来一直穿着那种上面带有宽带子和塑料警徽的棕色厚棉布警服，真的是烦死人了。如果这种香味警服能够使我们看上去既充满活力又不失警察威严的话，我们当然对它持绝对赞成态度了。”
