A Russian language book "Russian Police Uniforms" published in 2000 contains a number of colour plates that show the uniforms of the 1881-1917 period to have closely followed those of the Imperial Army in colour and style.
Hot weather dress included a peaked cap with white cover, dark green/black band and large bronze badge, a double breasted white tunic similar to the kitel worn by military officers until 1908 with red shoulder cords, a black waist belt edged in red, a red cord looped around the neck attached to a pistol in its holster, wide trousers of dark green (almost black) with red piping and high boots. Photos sometimes show a white blouse of the same style as the army gimnasterka being worn.
Winter dress comprised a low fur shapka with eagle badge, long grey greatcoat without visible buttons, red shoulder cords and pistol cord, black collar patches edged in red, red piping on cuffs and high boots. The waist belt was of dark leather with a bronze plate at the front.
The ordinary non-seasonal dress was dark green with red piping, shoulder cords etc worn with an all dark green peaked cap. Mounted police were dressed in a similar style to the army dragoon uniform between 1881 and 1908 with fur shapka with a red cloth top and (presumably in full dress only) a red plume. Riding breeches were blue grey with red piping.
In addition there were special uniforms for senior police officers, resembling those of army generals, as well as distinctive uniforms for river police and gendarmerie (light blue). One feature that distinguished police from army uniforms was that epaulettes and braid were silver rather than gold. In addition the police retained some of the features of the older 1881 uniforms after 1908, when the army went into khaki service dress and more elaborate parade uniforms. For example police continued to wear white summer blouses or tunics after the army discarded them. This was even the case with Soviet police (militia) as late as the 1950s.
Hope this helps.
