After you have been given the authorization and have selected your outfit, please send a screenshot of your outfit to the command member that has authorised the outfit so they can get authorization from TRIDENT Command that the outfit is suitable and ok to be worn. If you do not get clearance from TRIDENT Command or Gold Command, you will not be able to wear the outfit on patrol.

Please be aware that the plain clothing rules stated above cannot be overwritten.
