Police Swag?

[cg89]

Okay many of you will be like what the hell is this. I just recently got hired and undergoing the academy process very soon. I am very excited because this is the job i've wanted to do since i was little, following in my fathers footsteps. Now I'm going to be straight up...when you see some police officers your first reaction is "he looks sharp." or something about those lines. Considering your in a uniform what accessories can you wear to make you look better than the rest, your style. From what I can gather it seems like your sunglasses, watch, and what pen you use gotta be on point. (not this is no joke, I wanna look good on the job.) I was thinking about going with the retro 80's look with the ray-ban aviators, as far as the watch goes a nice police/military style watch. Pen i have no clue. Also i would imagine if they don't give me boots I would have to buy my own if so what ones are the nicest.

Hope some of you got a good laugh at this once again i am 100% serious. Can't be looking sloppy

If you are buying sunglasses, pens, and watches for use on duty based on how they LOOK, you are going to become quickly disappointed. Pens get lost, watches get scratched, and glasses get tossed around inside a patrol car.

Find stuff based on how you like to USE it; I don't know any cops who accessorize for fashion purposes.

Focus on the important stuff. Have your uniform dry cleaned and keep a nice shine on the boots. Make sure you are clean shaven. Forget about tattoos. Keep the hair short and nothing too "fadish". Do well in the academy and in field training and you will be fine. Forget about that other crap or do it when you are off-duty.

Before you consider any " accessories " , make sure that you and your uniform look GOOD. Dont try to
look " better " than the next officer like it is a competition.

Good haircut , clean shave , pressed uniform , shiny shoes , good attitude , the ability to LISTEN to your FTO and others will all make you a BETTER officer than the next guy without having to resort to trinkets to do the job for you.

No good laughs, just a lot of head shaking.

Before you spend time "worrying," you might want to worry about actually passing the academy.

Oh, come on! The tattoos are my swag! At least I have the short hair part covered... as incleanly shaven.

I prefer the METROSEXUAL look...

I'd go for that, but as I said above, being bald may preclude that. I have a buddy that we call "Jimmy Neutron because of his cute hair and metro look."

Grow a mustache.

My Magnum PI mustache looked more like a bad 80's porn flick, so I had to settle on the federal goatee.

You say that like it's a bad thing......

The 80's porn-stache or my fed goatee?


My wife tolerates a lot out of me. The porn-stache may just push her over the edge.

Most people will only relate to;

A sharp looking cop gave me a ticket or locked me up or helped me etc. Not many people will say Hey, a cop gave me a ticket and he had a nice pen that it wrote it with.
