A lot of North American law enforcement special teams have switched to Multicam, including the FBI HRT and the DEA. The official line is it helps camoflauge them in transitional areas, like urban parks and yards, bushes etc. Grey uniforms aren't very effective even against urban buildings anyways.
The alterior motive I heard in the industry for LE teams moving to Multicam is its military appearance and intimidation factor.
I remember as of 3-4 years ago, the VPD ERT still wore either black or grey. I haven't seen what they wear since then.
