The raid jacket shall be a microfiber polyester, waist-length, long sleeve, wind breaker-type jacket with microphone loops on each shoulder, a #5 zipper at the center, side pockets that are secured with zippers and shirred elastic cuffs that is Sheriff green in color. The raid jacket is designed and intended to give high visibility to non-uniformed sworn personnel who are engaged in special law enforcement operations, i.e., raids serving arrest or search warrants, or are in pursuit of suspects, etc., when it is imperative that they be readily identified as law enforcement officers.
The raid jacket shall have an embroidered replica of the Department badge, silk screen printed shoulder patches, and the word "Sheriff" across the back in medium yellow (gold).
The previous nylon forest green raid jacket will be permitted for wear for a period of 12 months following implementation of this policy.
