The individual equipment used by special police is usually more advanced than ordinary soldiers. Most special police officers use dark combat suits such as black or dark blue. Because it is possible to cut off the power supply when performing a task, dark training clothes are the best camouflage in the dark or when the light is insufficient. Special police officers often use multifunctional tactical vests as their accessories-a kind of combat equipment that can integrate most of the equipment and wear it, which is obviously different from the equipment of ordinary military and police personnel. Common weapons and equipment are pistols, submachine guns, rifles, sniper rifles, shotguns, angle guns, body armor, tactical vests, bulletproof helmets, tear gas bombs, smoke bombs, flash bombs, explosion-proof shields and so on.
