What must be approved in writing before marking JSO vehicles?

• A. Markings may be approved verbally by supervisors
• B. No approval needed
• C. All vehicle markings must be approved by the Uniform Committee
• D. The Uniform Committee approves only major markings

Answer: (C)

Any marking on a JSO vehicle must have written approval from the Uniform Committee before it’s applied. This formal written sign-off creates an official record, ensures markings stay consistent with agency branding and safety standards, and prevents unauthorized or misleading decals. Verbal approvals aren’t sufficient, and the policy isn’t limited to only major markings—every marking goes through the Uniform Committee. If you’re unsure about a proposed mark, you should obtain that written approval first.
