A Uniformed service is a public or private service which usually operates to protect individuals, and the employment of legal customs.[1] In practice, this means applying color such as camouflage, using identifying patterns, often using symbolism, and equipment such as vehicles, and with enough funds, ships, and aircraft. Some forms of a uniformed service is an organized force, legal official, or a health official,[2] that ensures public protection.[3]
Commonly, a law enforcement or an emergency service will use identifying patterns, and sounds, often with the means to inform the public to and to facilitate a faster response, if necessary. Often when signaling, both sounds, and lights, it is possible for the ongoing public traffic to stop, or slow down.[4] This increases the safety of traffic and the emergency response for the transport of an individual, from a possibly ongoing emergency.
Military camouflage is used to hide during a military operation which often serves the purpose to deceive any perceived threat. Though it is possible for the camouflage to be an identifying color if used in the wrong conditions.

A uniformed service operates under several different principles and characteristics. This includes identifying patterns both on vehicles and clothing.
Checkered patterns

Related checkered patterns, used by other services include individuals participating in speed competitions, which is commonly associated with black and white.
Black and White
[edit]In other practices law enforcement use the tactic of deception to the public with a stereotypical uniform. This is done to ensure the following of legal rules, and to ensure safety. For speed competitions it plays a common role often for a starter to signify the start of a race, and for roles including providing weather conditions. The flag is used by a uniformed service, commonly known as the Motorsport Marshals, who control the flag and coordinate direct communication to drivers.
