Public order public safety dress code

The uniform and protective equipment officers should wear for public order public safety incidents. There are three codes of dress.

In code 1, officers wear full personal protective equipment (PPE), fire-resistant overalls and NATO helmets. And they carry shields at the direction of the public order public safety commander.

In code 2, officers wear PPE and a police-issued hat. Officers wear high-visibility jackets over the PPE. And the force must make sure NATO helmets and shields are readily available.

In code 3, officers wear the standard operational uniform that their own force supplies.
