Problem with our uniform looking like the police.

My former employer and most other security companies around here put a great big patch on the back of the shirt/sweater/jacket/body armor that says SECURITY. My last gig I wore a BRIGHT yellow shirt that said SECURITY

Resurrected this one for the obvious reason stated in the article. I don't know about the rest of the country, but the fad here with two companies is to have the vest or jacket just say "Officer" or "Patrol." One company also wears the blue stripe flag on their uniform.
The officer attacked is OK, although he's not back on the job due to his injuries. The woman that attacked him is also wanted on arson charges. We'll see if Seattle or the county actually put her away or just do the usual "catch and release" routine from the prosecutor's office.
We could argue a million times whether police/law enforcement have the monopoly on the term "officer", but when used without context most people tend to associate it with law enforcement.

Navy slacks aren't too bad, especially if you are allowed to wear your own, no stripes, please.

There won't be any increase in attacks on security guards. They know who's who, and the difference between a guard and a police officer.

We live in dangerous times right now.

To and from work I always wore a plain jacket or sports jersey over my uniform. I don't know what your company's uniform policy is, but I would definitely wear a cap or a name tag that clearly says "Security" on it.

With all the recent shooting of police officers I worry about wearing my uniform to and from work. Ours looks exactly like the county sheriff aside from the shoulder patch which reads ****** Village. (name obscured for security reasons) Ive been mistaken for police more then once outside of work.

If you claim to be a cop and you're not THEN you're committing a crime... over here it's ''look like a cop... spend the night in the cells.''
When I was in School my School uniform sweater closely resembled a Police sweater
Image shown below resembles my old sweater:
here, also, resembles what police wear:
I was actually arrested for Police impersonation by an over zealous newbie police officer.
I guess he was new to the area... musta felt real stupid when the local Sergeant came and released me and apologised for his probationer's wrongful arrest.

My instructors at SWP were adamant about being squared away and have probably the cleanest looking crew around. They also told us that everyone in the company hierarchy gets hit with those fines per guard. Guard, Supervisor, Op Manager, Director, and Owner all get to pay it.
