The above special times aside, what do you look like on a regular basis when you are on patrol or walking a beat, if you even do that?
ATVs or bikes is the norm for us, if we're not on foot. So our uniform fits the task. It's about as far from shined shoes and bus driver hats as you can get. But it's also about as far from a military uniform as you can get.
Running shoes
Blue cargo shorts
And a super reflective "i'mrightherepleasedon'trunoverme" shirt
Not bad, actually pretty nice.
Keep in mind my original post about the uniforms was TIC to the opposite end of the spectrum from military style uniforms.............some (LEO's) here are just overly sensitive (manage & control) even about clothing; their way or the highway.
Lots of happy mediums short of either extreme..........but I'll say again, I dead set against militarization. Not just because of the appearance, but more so because of the attitude & mindset it promulgates. It comes out even in an internet discussion of attire with some.
