Uniform & Dress Code Information
Before Your Fitting
If you have submitted all required application packet documents, or you are confident that all remaining documentation will be turned in by close of business Tuesday, December 1, you may attend a uniform fitting.
Uniform Fittings — Required for All Cadets
Our uniform vendor is Parrott Canvas. All cadets must attend one of the two on-site fitting sessions below to be sized for their uniforms. Please allow approximately 30 minutes for your fitting.
Tuesday, December 8, 2026 — 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Wednesday, December 9, 2026 — 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
📍 PCC Law Enforcement Training Center, 2096 Central Park Drive
Payment
Hired by an agency: You do not need to bring payment. Your agency will be billed directly.
Not hired by an agency: Please bring a debit card to purchase your uniform bundle at your fitting.
Using financial aid or veteran's benefits: You will not need to pay at your fitting. However, you must ensure your financial aid or VA benefits application has been filed and is in progress before your fitting. See the Financial Aid and Veterans Services pages for more information.
Sizing & Fit — Important
PCC BLET policy requires all cadets to wear a ballistic vest under their uniform shirt while in uniform. The vest adds bulk, and your fitting will account for this so your shirts and pants are sized correctly. Uniforms are custom ordered and personalized, so they cannot be exchanged. This is why attending a fitting is required.
Required Uniform Bundle
All cadets must purchase the following minimum bundle:
2 PCC Approved Short Sleeve Uniform Shirts
2 Pairs of Tactical Duty Pants
1 PCC Approved Hat
1 PCC Crewneck Sweatshirt
2 PCC Blue Performance Short Sleeve Shirts
A note on quantities: The required bundle includes only 2 uniform shirts and 2 pairs of pants. Many cadets find that keeping up with laundry during the academy is challenging — between long days and weekend studying, it adds up quickly. You are welcome to order additional shirts and pants at your fitting so that laundry is one less thing to worry about. This is worth considering at your fitting, or after your first few weeks in the academy.
Required Duty Belt & Belt Keepers (purchased separately)
All cadets must purchase the duty belt and belt keepers through the Amazon link below so that every cadet's belt matches. Belts and keepers purchased from any other source will not be accepted.
1 Nylon Duty Belt
4 Nylon Belt Keepers
Approximate cost: $40
Purchase link: [AMAZON LINK]
Additional Required Items (purchased separately)
These items are not included in the bundle and may be purchased from a retailer of your choice.
Uniform Shoes
Must be all black — no exceptions
Preferred option: All-black tennis shoes
Alternative option: Tennis shoe–style boots (must not have speed hooks/lace hooks — the open metal hooks found on many boots that laces wrap around rather than thread through; these can damage mat room equipment)
A logo smaller than 1" x 1" is permissible, but must be blacked out with a permanent marker
Black Socks
Required with uniform; length is cadet's preference
Black Undershirt
Required under the uniform shirt
Physical Fitness Attire
Black shorts or black sweatpants
Shorts should preferably have no logos; if a logo is present, it must be small and minimal
If wearing shorts: must not be tight-fitting, must reach at least fingertip length with arms at your sides, and compression shorts are required underneath
A separate pair of athletic shoes for PT sessions (any color)
A Note for Later in the Academy
As seasons change or uniform items wear out, you will be given instructions for ordering additional items such as long-sleeve shirts or sweatshirts. Only one crewneck sweatshirt is required at the start, but many cadets find they want an extra — our classrooms can be cold, and the sweatshirt is worn year-round by many students.
The PCC crewneck sweatshirt is the only approved outerwear. Outside coats and jackets are not permitted in uniform.
