S.T.A.R.S.
The Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.) was an elite special forces division under the jurisdiction Raccoon City Police Department. It employed ex-military personnel and academic civilians for appropriate positions within the police department. The overall idea was to form a team combining tactically-sound soldiers with scientists, allowing the team to operate in both anti-terrorism and increasingly-potent urban crime.

Each member of the unit wore an undershirt (optional) with the S.T.A.R.S. emblem over the left sleeve, and an M69 Flak vest suited for each operative's personal skills and specialty. Other suggestions: normal body armor andshoulder armor, a sheath for a combat knife, a vest prominently displayed a red cross on the back (only if you are an omniman), leg holsters, SWAT fingerless gloves with watches over the gloves, and Jungle boots to complete their basic uniform. Each member is allowed to choose their color for his/her uniform. Some members wore LC1 suspenders along with LC2 belts while some only had LC2 belts with nothing on them. Members had their own pouches attached to their belts or web gear depending on the equipment they were bringing. A much more official and practical prototype S.T.A.R.S. uniform was also designed consisting of olive drab fatigues and a black tactical vest with the S.T.A.R.S. logo emblazoned across the back, but this outfit was never formally adopted due to the (Raccoon City) teams' demise.. There are two UH-1/204B models helicopters assigned to the S.T.A.R.S. unit, with one allocated to each team.
