You may not be able to quickly distinguish the various emergency services.
Uniforms seem to be almost interchangeable, between police, fire and paramedic services, add private security and by-law officers and they all blend in.
The Ottawa Police Service is changing pants to separate themselves.
The Ottawa officers will now have a red strike down the pant leg, much like the yellow stripe distinguishes the RCMP.
The old pants will be donated to charity.
