DCS has two uniforms, the Class B and Class C both of which are detailed below.  DCS Personnel may wear business casual attire at their District Station if approved by the Station Coordinator.  Prior approval from a Staff Officer is required to wear business casual attire at Station A.  DCS members shall be in uniform at any DCS Event which includes, but is not limited to, a planned event, activation or training session. 

DCS members shall be dressed appropriately for the situation.  The Uniform will be designated by the activating DCO as part of every activation/call out.  DCS ID Cards must always be displayed.

The following are the Official DCS Uniforms.  When designated they are to be worn as specified.
