Retrieving duplicate results when getting players in teams

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I am trying to retrieve all the players in a team to then be used in future programs. While testing I found out that the player is outputted three times instead of once. I have tried multiple variations off loops and have consulted the documentation for ‘:GetPlayers()’. I have consulted with a friend and it may be a replication issue but I am not totally sure.
Code:

wait(5) --Ensure the player is loaded before running the script
local teams = game:GetService("Teams")
local police = teams.Police:GetPlayers()
local nhs = teams.NHS:GetPlayers()
local fire = teams.Fire:GetPlayers()

for i = 1,#police do
    print(police[i])
    end
for i = 1,#nhs do
    print(nhs[i])
end
for i = 1,#fire do
    print(fire[i])
end

Output:
unknown
I would highly appreciate if anyone could help me with this as I am stuck for ideas.

Only one team is set to auto assign, so it shouldn’t be teaming me to all of them. But I will try manually assigning to see if it helps.

Edit: Same issue occurs with it displaying the name three times.

Just realised the issue, all the teams had the same TeamColor so it was counting them all as one team. It never occurred to me that the colour would make such a difference as I saw it more as a aesthetic.

Maybe try this :

I had 3 teams (police, nhs and fire)

 local Players = game:GetService("Players")
 

   Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
   player.Team = game:GetService("Teams").police 

 
         for _, player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
             print(player.Name.." is in Team"..player.Team.Name)
         end  
   
   end)

Each time a player joins it should print their name and their team’s name.
