PRT officers wear chain mesh and Kevlar vests, and helmets that cover their faces.<ref name="6.5">Standing guard by the front of the room, raising their weapons in our direction, was an on-duty PRT squad.  Their very recognizable uniforms were chain mesh augmented with kevlar, topped with faceless helmets.  The only means you had to identify them with were the badge numbers printed across their vests in bold white numbers.   Four of the five had what looked like flamethrowers.  They weren’t firing yet – they couldn’t.  They were packing the best in nonlethal weaponry, but there were elderly people and children in the crowd, and according to Tattletale, that meant they were prohibited from opening fire on us for the moment. -[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/12/27/tangle-6-5/ Excerpt] from [[Tangle 6.5]]</ref>

They carry firearms - both pistols and assault rifles.<ref>Assault rifles. - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/15451281 Comment by Wildbow on Spacebattles]</ref> These are usually loaded with nonlethal rounds, unless targeting individuals who are considered expendable or capable of surviving. In addition, specific individuals can carry a variety of specialized equipment. The PRT officers can carry grenade launchers that carry specialized load outs, including containment foam and [[tinker]]-made rounds.

[[Containment foam]] is the PRT's most common non-lethal response to threats. PRT officers are usually equipped with tinker-made containment foam applicators, mounted on the backs of the officer and dispensed on the target with spray applicators. The PRT, in response to large threats, has large vans with turrets mounted on the top to spray the containment foam.

The PRT typically uses large vans for transportation, these are usually marked with purple stripes diagonally across the side,<ref name="17.7">[[Krouse]] stepped over to the window.  The street was lit only by the minimal moonlight that filtered through the clouds.  There were police cars and fire trucks massing inside the quarantine area, as well as black vans with pale purple stripes and the letters P.R.T. on the sides.  The people outside the black vans had uniforms like the man he’d just beat up, only they wore helmets. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/01/14/migration-17-7/ Excerpt] from [[Migration 17.7]]</ref> the initialization of the organization stenciled on the side, their emergency lights are green and white.<ref name="10.2">It took three minutes for the PRT to arrive.  I saw the green and white flashing lights and heard the splashing before anyone stepped into my field of view. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/04/28/parasite-10-2/ Excerpt] from [[Parasite 10.2]]</ref> This distinguishes them from lights used by emergency services. It is unknown how much variation there is between individual departments.

“What does it say?” Vista asked, as she fought to get her coat in the bag.  I motioned like I was going to help, but she brushed me off.  I wouldn’t have been contributing much.

“Quote.”

“Six shots.”

The screen “Correct.  Mom or dad?”

“P.R.T.”

“Correct.  Childhood, classroom on the left?”

“Dumped water on her head.”

“You’re in.”- [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/10/12/sundown-17-4/ Excerpt] from [[Sundown 17.4]]</ref-->
