RUSI (Royal United Services Institute) 25/9/2024 Feature, Opinion The Uniforms of Police Emergency Response Team’s: A Research Note The primary role of Canadian emergency response teams (ERTs) is responding to dangerous, violent, and high-risk calls for service (CFS) as a patrol support unit. To unpack how ERTs are deployed in Canada, most often to support frontline patrol beyond full team deployments, in the current study we rely on survey data from n = 35 critical incident commanders from across Canada and highlight the variations in ERT uniforms when supporting patrol. Jenkins et al. suggested ERTs are used during CFS that are beyond the capabilities of patrol to resolve optimally or deployed to calls that lack patrol resources. In policing generally, the police uniform is central for recognizing the police, symbolizes membership to an organization, and provides officers with the clothing necessary to perform their duties safely. Existing research suggests the color of police uniforms can affect citizens’ perceptions of the police organization generally, and the individual officer specifically. Yet, little empirical research exists to reveal variations in ERT uniforms and why police services rely on their ERTs to assist patrol beyond full team deployments.
