UECU agents have special badge codes for identification. The badge code for example would be "CU-0001NY" for a New York State division Crisis Unit agent. "CU" meaning Crisis Unit, the number is the agent's badge number and "NY" being state division. Agents may wear any clothing they like but military vests, bullet proof vests, black tactical pants and any type of white or black shirt is recommended. Bullet proof vests are recommended off duty and agents must always be armed and have a cell phone or police/military radio with them at all times. Agents must keep medical gear, hazard gear and SWAT/riot gear in their vehicles. The standard and recommended uniform for an on duty agent consists of black tactical cargo pants with sneaker/boot variants and a white or black shirt of any kind. Under
