Hi Diana,
Helmets.
I'm part of a Sheriff's Office mounted unit. We're in Minnesota, so our uniforms vary depending upon winter/summer. Our uniforms needs cover duties ranging from security detail, formal dress, outreach, parade, city and park patrol. We also do MSAR work. Our clothing will vary depending upon the purpose, but when mounted, we always wear our helmets. We've found they're the most visible and effective presence part of our uniform. From a cost perspective, given the use they get and the visibility they offer, they're worth the cost. They also reinforce the safety factor and we enjoy giving tokens out to kids who we see in the parks when they are wearing their helmets, too.

Hello,
I’m wondering if any of you might have
ideas/suggestions on this. I’m part of a state park mounted assistance
unit. Although we do have uniform shirts with patches on both sleeves and name
tags, they don’t provide enough visibility for mounted patrollers. We’re
planning to beef up our uniform presence and are looking for
examples/suggestions of ways to do that (preferably, not too expense since we
will have to finance). We are discussing jackets (good thing!) but we are also
in a warm climate so these will only have limited functionality. We do have
vests but for some reason, they don’t provide much visibility or do the
job of identifying us as state park volunteers.
Any ideas/examples, etc., are greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Diana
