The Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office is updating and upgrading their uniforms, with the biggest change being the color.
Instead of their normal blue uniforms, deputies will be sporting a new green uniform with a new patch design.
Officials say the change will make it easier for citizens to recognize the deputies and stand out from other agencies.
“We want to be seen in everything that we do.” Berkeley County Sheriff Duane Lewis said. “There are many times where the Sheriff’s Office and our municipal partners are on scene together on a call and our citizens may be confused about which agency a law enforcement officer represents. With the new uniform reveal, it will make it clear to our community who we are.”
The new patch features the BCSO badge between an American flag and South Carolina state flag on a black background with gold lettering
