You must ensure that your police markings on the front and back of your vest and hat are visible at all times. Brands may not be worn under any circumstances. This includes any form of fragging, like outfits such as Pink Manor. If your vest covers the brand, it is permitted as long as the branding is not visible. Vests, Crop tops, etc are also not allowed. 

Arms/Torso 

• You may wear suitable gloves, including surgical gloves, but any gauntlets will not be allowed to be worn. Additionally, your outfit may not have holes in due to the arms/torso not fitting the shirt/jacket. 

Legs 

• Joggers and Jeans are fine to be worn as plain clothing; however, any form of shorts is not allowed. They must be plain and must cover your entire body. Under no circumstances should any of your rear end be exposed. Sagging pants are not permitted.

Shoes

• Shoes must at all times remain professional, with common sense being utilised. For example, air forces would be permitted; however, bright-coloured shoes are not to be worn; white is allowed, however. 

Mix and Match Plain Clothing

• Mixing and Matching plain clothing is permitted for SCO-19 and Gold Command. It must be clear that you are a police officer, if it is not clear, then you risk being banned for RDM. A divisional vest and a marked hat is mandatory with mix and match clothing.

How to get authorisation

• To get authorisation, you must be granted plain clothing as a perk or reward of your position. As plain clothing is a TRIDENT Perk, TRIDENT Command must authorise any form of plain clothing, including mixing and matching divisional outfits with plain clothing. You must send a photo of the front and back of the outfit at a neutral level so that TRIDENT Command may authorise the fit. Please be aware that the plain clothing regulations above may not be overwritten. If you do not adhere to these regulations, you can receive punishments and future blacklists from plain clothes. TRIDENT Command and Gold Command have the final say in what clothing you can and cannot wear, and may update these regulations to reflect ongoing changes or clarifications within the police service.
