Color of the day (police)
The color of the day is a signal used by undercover officers of some police departments in the United States. It is used to assist in the identification of plainclothes police officers by uniformed officers. Perhaps its best known use is by the New York City Police Department (NYPD), the NYPD Transit Bureau (formerly the ''New York City Transit Police'') and the NYPD Housing Bureau (formerly the ''New York City Housing Authority Police Department'') among other law enforcement agencies.
An undercover police officer will wear a headband, wristband or other piece of clothing in the "color of the day";〔 and officers will be told of this color at the station house before they start work.〔 The system is for officer safety and first started during the violence of the 1970s and 1980s in New York City.〔
== Purpose ==
New York City is a very large city with a population of over 8,310,000,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The "Current" Population of New York City (2007) )〕 with over 18,800,000 people〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=U.S. Census Bureau )〕 living in the surrounding area. An extra 500,000 people enter the city during a weekday.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Census Bureau Releases First-Ever Data On Daytime Populations for Cities and Counties ) 〕
The color of the day system is about officer safety. With so many armed officers in the city, undercover police officers need to have an easy to use system to provide for discreet identification of plainclothes officers by uniformed ones. The system is in place to prevent uniformed officers from mistakenly shooting plainclothed officers not immediately identifiable as police officers.
