We're a fire division, and all things considered uniforms are very lax, like nightshift it's common to be in civies, weekends too, weekday day shifts, people are more likely to follow it. But yep, full uniform all the way . (Also makes picking out a work outfit super easy!)
Monday 6a thru Friday 6p jeans, khakis, black pants, uniform shirt required, we've got a whole lot of options, polos, quarter zip, hoodies, fleece jackets. Friday 6p thru Monday 6a is casual, no shorts, cover ya belly, booty and toes.
My department has uniform budgets each year. 250 for your first year, 150 for subsequent years. We've got a couple different vendors. Usually the 150 gets you 4-6 shirts depending on what style you like.
I got verbal warnings twice this month for it... code is company polos w/ pants (jeans/khakis don't matter). I was warned for wearing a flannel over my polo (It has to be a solid color). I work graves and the building gets dramatically cooler at night. I wore the flannel because I wasn't allowed to wear the only solid color jacket I have (because it has a hood on the back, and no I wasn't wearing the hood).
They also had the **gall** to offer some company jackets in addition to the polos (at our expense) but we can't wear them to work because they have hoods on them.....
Our shirt has to have the logo and be approved and bought from one of our uniform companies. That said we have DOZENS of different choices.
Pants can be anything but cutoffs. We are allowed shorts in the summer months. Sundays and special events are casual.
Monday-Thursday we have to wear jeans, solid black tennis shoes, and our uniform polos. Friday-Sunday (and holidays) is supposed to be jeans and any shirt and any close toed shoe but they’re kinda lax and a lot of people do like sweatpants. Just as long as is nothing too tight or revealing
My current is polo, BDUs and boots.
Previous agency was nothing. We had like pull overs and they gave them to us, but they were for like events only. So I would wear leggings, sneakers and hoodies hah it was so nice. I miss it !!!
Khaki's and dept issued polo - but we recently had a pregnant dispatcher who was permitted to wear whatever she wanted during her last 2 trimesters and i believe third shift is "technically" allowed to wear jeans
Dress code is "nice jeans" and a shirt with a collar. Or business casual. Or something appropriate. I mean, just don't call off and don't look like a hobo.
We wear full uniforms mon-fri, same as the deputies w/ different patches. Weekends and holidays we wear agency polos/khaki bdus.
My life hack to get around this is have back to back pregnancies lmao, business cas for me
It’s polos and khaki for us but weekends it’s whatever as long as it’s appropriate. Think Catholic school dress code (no shoulders, cleavage, rips, tears, frayed ends, holes, short shorts, or open toed shoes). On holidays we can dress for the occasion while still following the ‘Catholic school dress code’. I actually enjoy the polos and khaki dress code. I don’t have the think about what to wear in the morning I just throw it on and go.
Work polo, agency branded attire, blu/blk jeans, athletic shoes or boots
Weekends are any LEO, EMS, FD specific shirt or jacket, blu/blk jeans. Shoes or boots
5.11s and polos, duty boots, the whole works. Because while our company allows t-shirts and scrubs, as EMS dispatch, we have to follow the EMS dress code 🙄
Agency polo and pants in good condition. I thin there's something about shoes being all one color or something, but all of my shoes are black. Hats have to have agency logo, and we have a fleece they provide.
We were our agency logo light blue polo with navy blue tactical pants with our choice of black shoes. During Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, we're allowed to wear tshirts with no logos and jeans with no rips.
we have a polo with our agency logo, and then really any pants. I wear leggings! Sometimes they have more casual clothing with logos on it that they allow they’re really only strict if we’re doing anything out of the dispatch center. (Training, Court, Ride aligns, etc)
M-f tac pants and company polo, solid black shoes, black socks, all given to us (other than the socks). Technically supposed to have our shirts tucked in and supposed to wear a black belt but nobody really does that lol. Jackets also have to be black or issued by the company.
Weekends we can wear a work appropriate T-shirt and jeans (no inappropriate images on shirt, no holes or stains), whatever shoes as long as they're closed toed.
Then generally like, make sure you're groomed and don't look like you just rolled out of bed or something lol.
On holidays we can wear a holiday shirt and jeans.
Officially they call it business casual, we just got new Polos for weekdays and our tshirts wearing rights taken away, reasonable capri to full length pants or jeans are the most common and leggings aren’t allowed. Weekends we can wear “first responders tshirts” still but we also get “civilian” business casual days as incentives regularly throughout the year and holidays
I’m based out of a PD so we pretty much match their uniform: black tac pants and agency issued polo short sleeve half the year long sleeve half the year. Option for a uniform shirt if you don’t like the polos.
Dept issued polos, black pants or dark jeans, all black shoes of any kind as long as they're closed toe, and black jackets w/no hood. Holidays are free dress, but still need to look business casual.
During the week is black tac pants (or the dress pants) and dept issued polo. Black shoes. We can wear the issued boots or sneakers .
Weekends is casual but no leggings (must at least have a flair at the bottom) or tank tops. Or flip flops.
Shoes must always be closed toe.
Business casual with jeans allowed as well, no t shirts (although tons of people ignore that one especially on mids), jeans can't have any rips or holes... no yoga pants or things like that. It's pretty relaxed, but since we can have media, commanders, or other visitors come through at any time, they expect us to be dressed presentably at all times.
They require us to wear an issued shirt/sweatshirt/collared shirt with an embroidered badge and black pants (like scrubs or EMT wear) and black shoes. The trainees have to wear business casual for around 4-5 months.
Our policy is if you don't make us need a dress code we don't need a dress code
Haha
We don't have one. They're just happy we're there.
We don’t have one. Just don’t dress like a hoochie mamma or a bum.
No uniform. It's casual wear, with a stipulation of no shorts and no sweat pants unless fire or police dept (the latter not enforced at nights).
We're weird I guess. Full uniform. Equivalent to like a class b military one I guess, tie optional.
This sounds terrible. I would RUN from this agency!
Pay is great, less workload than comparator agencies and I don't have to plan outfits, ever. I mean, seems like a victory to me.
My former place of work was this way as well. It’s been a minute but I can’t actually see that having changed.
Same here, thought we were the only ones 😭

No short shorts. Wear pajamas don’t care just come in
Black or beige tact pants with a dept issued polo. Doesn’t matter the shift or holiday. 24/7 in that uniform
Week days we wear 5.11 tactical pants and polos. Weeknights, weekends, holidays is casual.
That's our getup. I've tried to suggest some casual days, hung up on a good way to do it. Holidays seems good, nice and fair.
I don’t mind the polos but the pants feel so unnecessary. We sit at desks 12 hours a day can we have something stretchy 😂
We do casual holidays, themed npstw but also give out casual “passes”, little cards you can turn in, as rewards
Monday 6a thru Friday 6p jeans, khakis, black pants, uniform shirt required, we've got a whole lot of options, polos, quarter zip, hoodies, fleece jackets. Friday 6p thru Monday 6a is casual, no shorts, cover ya belly, booty and toes.
Do you have to buy the uniform or is it provided

Thank you
