(4)

A special policeman when on patrol or guard duty must wear proper uniform. Such uniforms shall all be identical and shall be of a different color than those worn by the police department; provided, however, plant guards and those employees who are engaged in the protection of any employer's own property or products may wear a uniform of their own choice, color or design. Badges must be different than those of city, county or state police officers.
