City Marshals, because of their peace officer certification, have a broader coverage in their off-duty activities, as outlined in the City Marshal's Office General Orders.

A Uniform Agreement must be completed by each non-Civil Service employee receiving uniforms. Typically, non-Civil Service, full time, regular employees must work a minimum of 90 days before uniforms are issued.
Some exceptions exist based on the duties initially performed by the new employees.
Upon graduation, the balance of the uniform and equipment will be issued. Police Civil Service employees must be in an active status to receive a clothing allowance. Fire Civil Service Employees Fire Civil Service employees do not receive a clothing allowance. Replacement uniforms will be provided by the Fire Department upon request and with proper authorization.
