Uniform and Equipment
The New Jersey Transit Police Department's "Class A" uniforms share a minor resemblance to the uniforms of the New Jersey State Police. However, NJ Transit Police Officers wear a badge on the left side of their chest.
Officers in Special Operations wear a B.D.U. uniform and tactical outer vest. During special events and training, other members of the department wear B.D.U.'s as well.
The standard issue firearm for the New Jersey Transit Police Department is the Sig Sauer P229 chambered in .40 S&W.
