Uniform


Currently the SDU has 3 standard uniforms. The dark blue one is suitable for operations conducted in night times and low light conditions. The grey uniform is for the standard urban operations, and the jungle camouflage uniform is for rural operations. All uniforms are non-flammable and can protect the officers from tear gas attacks. The standard gloves are the Nomax gloves. The marine team officers wear the camouflaged wet suits or black wet suits.

Due to the relatively small size of the SDU, officers who are off duties will be called back through the new digital mobile system. Those officers, while wearing tees and jeans, will directly go to the scenes of the emergencies, and only by then they will wear the armors and distributed weapons to them. Hence it is not weird to see SDU officers carry out emergency operations wearing tees and jeans.
