Uniform History

ETPD's Outer Carrier Vest

Debut of Outercarrier

In 2019 ETPD transitioned to the outercarrier. In an age of modernizing and evolving equipment, officers have been enabled to transition equipment that was worn on a duty belt to now on the outercarrier. The shift in weight from a duty belt to the outercarrier provides greater balance to the officer in the performance of his duties and provides relief in the back and hip areas. Ranking officers' outercarriers are labeled in gold and patrolman now don the silver "POLICE", nameplate, and badge. Additionally patrols now wear the long standing "French blue" in the winter months and the navy polo in the summer/fall months.

Modernized Leather Gear

As times progressed, ETPD updated its patch to the one displayed to the right in the picture to which it still stands today. The wheat and stars were then taken out of the old patch patch which is displayed to the left in the picture. Patrols have since switched over to Class B uniforms for patrols which includes nylon gear, a departure from the traditional leather gear in years' past, and also have sewn patches.
