while patrols were initially always crewed by two traffic officers, following a successful trial in 2013, all traffic officers are to be trained in the near future to operate singly crewed, increasing the potential reach of the service. traffic officers wear high-visibility jackets, distinctive by the orange and yellow markings. all staff who work on the network are required to wear protective equipment such as safety boots,gloves and safety goggles. staff have the option to wear a white collared shirt and tie, an open necked white shirt or a navy collared polo shirt. all officers carry a portable airwave radio.
