What the color of the day?
Color of the day is an undercover police officer safety recognition system in NewYork City, USA. It was first started during the increase in violence seen in the city during the 1970s and 1980s. With the large amount of police and law enforcement presence in the city and surrounding areas, a recognition system was needed for uniformed officers to be able to instantly recognize people who were in plain-clothes that were also armed police officers. At that time many undercover officers pretended to be homeless people on the street and in subways, and also acted as drug addicts working in the NYPD Street Crimes Unit. The color of the day system was invented to stop the shooting of undercover police officers by uniformed police officers who did not recognize or know the undercover officer in question. Two African-American transit cops were shot and killed by uniformed officers who did not know they were police officers when the undercover officers drew there guns. Because of the prevelance of racism in the NYPD (at that time) many African-American officers were terrified of being shot by their own colleagues. The color of the day system is a color that is picked every day (different color each day) and is told to officers when they come on shift. Undercover officers then wear a head-band, wrist-band, t-shirt or hat in the same color as the color of the day. This lets other officers know that the person wearing it may be a police officer undercover and to act accordingly. When in doubt the uniformed officer will ask the person in question "what is the color of the day?2 If they answer correctly they know they are a police officer. The undercover officer who pulls his gun near to uniformed officers will often just shout out "the color of the day is (the color)!" This helps the uniformed officers to not shoot the person who is pulling a gun near their location. The color of the day is not fool-proof, and officers have been shot whilst using it. It has, however, prevented many shootings also.
