Formal or Regulation Uniform is mandatory unless directed otherwise by the Festa Commander.
Accessories must adhere to color coding:
- Gold snaps for supervisory officers
- Silver snaps for non-supervisory officers
Unit-specific uniforms (e.g., K-9, Helicopter, Bike Patrol) are worn solely during normal duty hours.
Appropriate headgear is required with unit-specific uniforms.
Gloves should be plain black or navy-blue; Bike Patrol officers may use full or half finger gloves.
Sunglasses must lack bright colors; acceptable are dark lenses, optionally with silver mirror coating.
Supervisory officers conduct monthly inspections per GM Procedure 315 to ensure compliance with uniform specifications.
Requests for uniform changes are submitted to the Labor Relations Committee for assessment, which then informs the Chief of Police for final decisions or testing if applicable.
Officers near federal-aid highways must wear high-visibility clothing meeting ANSI/ISEA 107: 2004 specifications, specifically the Blauer 339P High-Visibility Yellow Vest.

Uniform Appearance Standards

Faded uniforms or those with noticeable repair patches are prohibited.
