We have a bike patrol unit at work. The uniform is basically a white polo with BDU pants. The shirt says "SECURITY" in black letters on the back and around the neck. I want to add our patches as they would appear on our dress uniforms so they signify our organization and not some shirt you can buy anywhere. Some are against this. Anyone see anything wrong with this? Anyone have pics of their polos with patches?

At my previous job, our 'soft/summer' uniform was a grey polo with the embroidered badge on the front, and our company patches on the shoulders. It actually looked really nice, and I prefer that style to having "SECURITY" on the back... Don't have any pictures, however..Corbier's Commandos - "Stickin it to the ninjas!"

I made a little stink with the office saying on citizen contacts no one would really know we were security since we wore slick belts and no badge insignia. I started wearing my old duty belt with my handcuff/OC/Radio/Etc... cases on it with my TWC badge clipped to the front just so I was more easily identifiable.
The other bike patrol site we had, I never worked at, but I liked their uniforms. They had the Black BDU and a grey polo that had the TWC badge silk screened on the front and the back said "BIKE PATROL" They also had helmets that said "SECURITY" and "BIKE PATROL" along them."Alright guys listen up, ya'll have probably heard this before, Jackson vs. Securiplex corporation; I am a private security officer, I have no State or governmental authority.

Embroidery looks better than patches. Make sure that Ohio law doesn't require the company name (even for in-house), as well.
Personally, I would use polo shirts that said "security" or something else (usually the company name or initials) on the back, and an embroidered badge that said the company name on it (not a generic "security guard/officer" badge) on the front. I would also embroider the employee's name, such as "N. A. Corbier" - it looks more professional and shows the company is investing in its employees.
The badge takes the place of the full blown uniform patch. I dislike full blown uniform patches on polo shirts. Its a casual uniform, not a replacement for the full Class B.Some Kind of Commando Leader

So you guys are just wearing regular polos? No reflectors or anything on them? These are the ones that our bike unit wears. http://galls.com/jpegs/127821.jpg They also have the pants that can zip off into shorts for the summer.Last edited by JSam21; 06-10-2007, 07:09 PM."You gotta look like Rico Suave, Think like Einstein and, only if that fails...fight like Tyson." -Dougo83's FTO

Bike Patrol uniforms should have refective pipping on them. Can't stress that enough."You gotta look like Rico Suave, Think like Einstein and, only if that fails...fight like Tyson." -Dougo83's FTO

The new G4S logos are being distributed. The badges look as ugly as the last two generations. I was hoping for something a little more main stream. The patches have yet to be seen and I fear that too. This outfit will spend millions on uniform change but nothing on better (modern) equipment and logistics.
G4S. Isn't that a new MAC PC?My views, opinions and statements are my own. They are not of my company, affiliates or coworkers.

I know the issue you're facing well
I have now for some time over here in Australia been a lone "bike patrolman" and it's basically impossible to find anything classy over here.
I did a lot of internet searching and found that Olympic Uniforms really had the goods that were both rider friendly and functional, plus look great.
Take a look here http://www.olyuniforms.com/Shirts.html
I personally like the Olympic Class A Polo Shirt found here http://www.olyuniforms.com/CMCAshirt.html You still have the uniform professional appearance of a normal uniform shirt, but these shirts have the modern technology in the fabric to breath etc, plus still look great.
As for shorts either ones here would be great http://www.olyuniforms.com/Hollyshort.html http://www.olyuniforms.com/Pheshort.html
I have a white helmet here, that has a thin reflective blue strip right around the edge of the helmet, with "security" in reflective silver on top of that going all the way around it too. I'll post a picture up soon for you.
Now in making my comments about the Olympic Uniforms, I order a few shirts and shorts through a shop in the U.S.A. over the internet in early February. Cost me over $230AUD. 6mths later I still haven't received my goods nor even had a reply email from at anytime since they got my money and sent me an email to acknoweledge they had received my moneyOne extremely helpful site member has been helping me tho, but I feel I'll never see the goods nor my money
A well trained dog is worth 10 men!
I can recall my dog, but I can never recall a fired bullet!
Would you prefer me to use the dog, the Glock, the baton or the O.C. spray? It's your health insurance so you decide. Alternatively there is always the handcuffs, followed by the Police with the court house preceeding rapidly after. Now which service would you like me to utilise
