Its more circumstantial than to do with competence. In the case of Americans, there's a real mallninja wannabe-operator culture withing SWAT and cops as a whole, so you get ACUs and keffyehs when its not appropriate. On the case of Favela and OMOH or whatever militarized cops, they have an actual chance of getting in regular protracted gunfights, so it makes sense to wear camo (though effectiveness of OMOH blue camo is suspect).

Do the FBI actually wear this strange dungaree/khaki outfit, or did the costume designers watch too much TDKR?

how often does it make sense in a city where your main job is to burst into peoples houses throwing flashbangs and screaming police search warrant loudly
is multicam gonna buy you a few milliseconds of concealment against the floral pattern of a drug dealer's out dated wallpaper?

>camo
>not going the extra step and just wear ghillie suits

The FBI has more excuse because being federal they operate federally, which includes rural areas where camouflage actually makes sense.

I think it has more to do with whatever is cheapest for a department to get ahold of. Police get the shittiest equipment always, almost anything military quality is a hand me down from the actual military. Sort of like the reason most officers wear black uniforms now is because the government subsidized the purchase of black uniforms in order to have a standard appearance of police

In this case, and in all of Brazil, is less to do with efficiency or usefulness. The camo is simply used for the differentiation and distinction of units. The uniform of our military police is diferent in each state, but camo uniforms are generally used by special commando units or special ops battalions of the military police.

Black is the traditional color of police. Being easily identifiable as a police officer is more advantageous than being able to hide in a bush. People see police every day and accept them as a normal part of society.

They see a SWAT team wearing black, they know somethings up but generally know its just cop shit. When people see guys all Tacticooled out in camo and armor, they start freaking out. They think SHTF and their streets are a war zone. This leads to more crime and panic.

TLDR - public relations

That was a dumbass beat cop. Not ERT/ERU senpai.

navy blue is the traditional colour of police but is so dark it may as well be black.
I'd dress all cops in something like pic related but with mandarin collars, kneepad inserts with light blue hi-viz vest option.Just better fitting than this guys.

You do realize us Americans have plenty of manhunts in the woods right?

Hence stuff like Eric Frein and Chris Dorner.
