Although our command team members are identified by their ranks on their administrative uniforms, in the field they wear a standard uniform on a regular shift and wear their certification markers outlined below to ensure the public and other professionals responding to the scene are aware of their qualifications.
The only person wearing a different marking is in the event that there is a operations supervisor assigned to the shift. The field supervisor will be identified with a 2 maple leaf epaulette marker.
If you have any questions, or concerns during a shift, you are welcome to reach out to the field supervisor who can assist you.
