Looking their best is a priority for the Lancaster Police Department. The department is committed to projecting a strong professional appearance, believing the investment sets them apart from other area agencies who have switched to more relaxed uniform standards. Throughout the years, they have received positive feedback from the community, and this year, their commitment to excellence has been rewarded with top honors in NAUMD’s Best Dressed Public Safety Awards.
Lancaster PD has wear for its command staff and patrol, as well as specialized wear for the PTU, K9 Unit and Bike Patrol. The Class A is an all polyester uniform manufactured by Flying Cross. Command staff are distinguished by gold hardware with rank insignia displayed on the collar of the blouse and the epaulets of the coat. Sergeants wear corresponding chevrons on their sleeves. Patrol officers wear the same uniforms with silver hardware, LPD collar insignia and gray stripe on the pants.
K9 handlers wear the 5.11 police tactical class A uniform, a poly-cotton blend with embroidered badge, name and LPD insignias. Bike unit officers wear 5.11 yellow police bike patrol polos with embroidered badges and police screen printing on the back
