Uniform Standards
Minimum Qualifications Uniform Standards Opportunities
New England Security uses a variety of uniforms to be easily identifiable and approachable, as well as being a visual deterrent to stop crime. Some clients prefer a police style uniform as other clients prefer a more casual look. Whether you want your officers in a suit and tie or polo shirt and slacks we can work with you to outfit our officers with the uniform of your choice that will best compliment your organization or business. New England Security guards and security officers are always properly dressed and well groomed. Our officers are required to have all uniforms cleaned, pressed, neat and orderly. Our uniform standards are the highest in the industry and compliance with this policy is mandatory.
•Military Uniform
This durable cotton fatigue set or jump suit with shoulder epaulets, is made with several pleated pockets for extra storage. Security patches are affixed to both sleeves, as well as a badge patch worn above the left breast pocket, and on the front of a combat cap. Military combat boots are worn with the pant legs bloused inside them. A nylon web belt is mandatory for this uniform, which supports all of the guards duty gear. This duty gear may consist of a handgun, taser, pepper spray, baton, handcuffs and radio. This type uniform also can be worn with polo shirt and BDU pants.
•Police Uniform
The police type uniform normally has a military pleated shirt, that has sewn on shoulder epaulets, and two holes on the left breast to hold a security badge. Security patches would be affixed to both sleeves just below the shoulder. The pants are a formal nylon type pant, which may have a military stripe sewn along the side of it. The work shoes are shiny, black leather. A police leather duty belt might be issued with the same or similar items as the military web belt.
•Formal Attire
In the hospitality industry, business attire is the required standard. A 3- or 4-piece suit is used worn in a formal atmosphere to show professionalism. This suit consists of a tailored shirt with tie, dress slacks and shoes, blazer and sometimes a vest. A less formal environment may require only a dress shirt, tie, slacks and dress shoes. A radio clips on easily to the dress belt, and a ear microphone can be added for hands-free operation. A badge can be added to either uniform by using a badge holder in the breast pocket or clipping it to the belt.
•Casual Attire
For a more general environment such as small businesses,
warehouses, manufacturing plants and gated communities casual attire
is acceptable. Casual attire consists of a Polo shirt, cotton canvas
pants and work shoes. The Polo shirt should have a sewn on badge
patch or the company's logo over the left breast. A radio would be
carried on the guards belt, and a clip on badge can also be added.
In a casual but higher threat environment, the casual clothing can
be substituted for similar tactical clothes. Tactical casual wear is
highly durable and has added storage pockets. Lightweight tactical
boots and web belt would be worn, along with a combat cap or jungle
hat. If discreet service is required, a tactical cotton canvas vest
can be worn concealing a handgun and other less than lethal weapons.
