What use is the pattern other than at night or inside a dark building? I mean really a dark black is usually the worst color for daytime camo.

That's what I was figuring. It looks badass, but even for SWAT teams, it's probably nothing more than novelty. I mean, though camo patterns aren't as needed for police tactical units as for military units, there still seems to be a move away from the all black and navy blue tactical uniforms towards OD green, Multicam, and FDE uniforms. So, I guess there's something to be said about the lack of effectiveness of black/mostly black uniforms even among police units.
Forgive me for digressing, slightly, but ...
I remember seeing these pics when the Jersey City shooting happened and thought to myself, “now there’s the definitive answer to the ‘what’s the best urban camo?’ question.”

It does fine for a purely aesthetic Camo pattern.
It's a uniform pattern, not in use by military units, specifically made for LE, low IR signature, blends well at night, etc. Is it good for hunting or military operations? Probably not. Does it make a cool SWAT uniform? Yes. Does OD green or gray work just as well? Ya, probably.
Similar to US Navy’s Blueberry pattern, Multicam Black struck me as an effective way to camouflage wear and grime. It also may end up looking more uniform, especially compared to 5.11 cotton gear, which fades faster than a boy band.
New Germany. The clowniest police uniforms in the country seem to be owned by the Garden State.

I like it. It's hip Multicam - but for cops. It says "Look - I'm cool like the SF guys - but not AS cool." I'm not kicking in doors (anymore) but I like it. It's Gucci enough for me, I don't need to buy Crye.
Multicam white is something we don't see very often, actually snow camo anything is unusual as compared to flora/fauna type.
Pondering when/why "Low IR signature" became a realistic LEO need?
Not opposed to them having tools required for the job.
Are criminals with NVG a common thing now outside of cartel situations?
"Boys, better change to the ninja suits before we execute the no knock... This methhead dealer may have lookouts with NVG" :)
Swatters gonna swat, I guess
