It is a polar molecule because although it's shape is linear, (which is a non-polar shape) the electro negativity is not the same between the two atoms. Therefore, the electrons are a little closer to Cl.

Bromine monochloride is very slightly polar because the electronegativities of bromine and chlorine are not the same. Thus, the electron density is higher around the chlorine atom than the bromine atom. This means that an electron is more likely to be found on chlorine, making it slightly negative.
