Class B Tactical Duty Uniforms

Public safety uniforms can usually be divided into two basic categories -- traditional police uniforms, which project a more approachable, ready-to-serve appearance, and Class B tactical uniforms, which project a more practical, ready-to-fight approach.

Public Safety Class B tactical duty uniforms are intended for use on patrol or active duty by private and public safety and security personnel, including police departments, county sheriffs, corporate security officers, correctional facility staff, and homeland security professionals.  These Class B Tactical Duty Uniforms can be broken into several categories based on who is using them and when:

• Class B Police Uniforms
• Fire and EMS Uniforms
• Class B Police Tactical Clothing
• Private Security Uniforms

Traditional police uniforms are more formal than tactical duty uniforms. Traditional police clothing usually includes short sleeve or long sleeve police dress shirts and police dress pants such as those worn with a Public Safety Class A police uniform,  These traditional police uniforms are used for day-to-day operations to convey authority and a professional appearance. In many cases, police departments focus around the ideal combination of dark blue pants and light blue shirt, as psychological tests have found that the color blue is associated with feelings of security and comfort, and that a half-light/half-dark uniform conveys a warm and friendly message not conveyed by a darker uniform.

However, police officers who need to carry more tactical gear often require tactical uniforms.  Tactical uniforms for police and law enforcement feature cargo-pocket pants, BDU shirts, sturdy tactical boots, and a baseball cap.  Public safety Class B tactical duty uniforms can also include a tactical jumpsuit or combat helmet in special circumstances. 

Class B police uniforms can be worn in black or other dark colors, but this makes them less suitable for day-to-day use.  These dark colors are subconsciously seen by the public as intimidating. Therefore, most departments opt to switch between traditional and tactical uniforms depending on the assignment, the requirements of their community, the shift they're working, or other relevant factors.  Regardless, both traditional and more modern police uniforms are worn with public safety duty uniform shoes or boots.
