You may be missing a point, here.  "Usually, each jurisdiction has...."  IOW, 
what a LAC sees is a "police" uniform.  I wouldn't be able to tell you 
whether any given uniform was the uniform of our police, or what, unless the 
person was oriented so I could see the patches.  I also couldn't tell you 
offhand just what the uniforms properly consist of.  The bicycle cops wear 
helmets and shorts, and perhaps other things different from what the car cops 
wear.  I simply don't see the police that much, and when I do see them, I 
have other things to pay attention to than their clothes. Some people are 
indeed very clothes conscious, but I'm not one of them.
