What purpose does the SF uniform primarily serve?

The primary purpose of the Security Forces (SF) uniform is to act as a deterrent to law violations. When individuals see members of the SF in uniform, it signals a presence of authority and enforcement, which can discourage unlawful behavior in the surrounding area. The uniform signifies that the wearer is a trained law enforcement officer with the authority and responsibility to maintain security and enforce laws, thus acting as a visual reminder that criminal activity is likely to be noticed and addressed.

While other aspects such as comfort and the practicality of wearing a uniform are important, they are secondary to the primary function of the uniform in maintaining order and deterring misconduct. A fashion statement or plainclothes identification does not embody the core purpose of the uniform within the context of law enforcement and security operations.
