Are bumper stickers or decals permitted on unmarked JSO vehicles?

• A. Yes, they are permitted.
• B. No, they are not permitted.
• C. Only small decals are allowed.
• D. They are allowed with supervisor approval.

Answer: (B)

Unmarked JSO vehicles must present a neutral, official appearance to avoid misperception about affiliation and to protect safety. Bumper stickers or decals could convey private messages, indicate team membership, or imply endorsement, which could confuse the public or reveal sensitive information about undercover operations. To maintain consistency and prevent any misidentification, external markings beyond the approved official insignia are not allowed. Any need for markings would go through formal approval and strict guidelines, not casual stickers. So bumper stickers or decals are not permitted.
