    Black police uniforms only either....thank you

    I might be in the minority, but I hate seeing tan police uniforms or the dark green uniforms that I have seen in Florida. Dark blue I'm fine with and black are the only 2 color uniforms I want to see

    I am sure all sorts of agencies the across the nation will take immediate steps to change their uniforms to your liking.

    I'm waiting with bated breath for the memo and uniform check.

    Let's see him dress up in an all black uniform and a ballistic vest and stand a traffic post out in the sun for eight hours straight.

    We had a local department recently change from tan to a dark blue. The official reason was that the specific tan they had was too expensive. They could have went to a different tan but left it up to the officers and they chose a dark blue despite the summers here. Also they chose black t-shirts instead of white in order to remove the "white triangle of death."

    Now it seems all the municipal depts have dark Blue and all the sheriffs offices and DPS have Tan. And if you have dark blue, the badge is a shield but if you have tan, the badge is a star. Not any data to support it, just looking around.

    I can't speak to how well a color does for each job or whether brown for rural and blue for urban is a tactical advantage. I hope that fashion is never the reason for the choice and they get the best gear for the money they've been allocated. A department that spends extra to color match a uniform that was dropped 10 years ago while also laying off needs to adjust it's priorities. As a civilian, I don't really care what the color is as long as it looks professional and can be worn with pride. If it looks cheap and sloppy, the officers look cheap and sloppy and then get treated cheap and sloppy. That's neither good or safe.

    Is it las vegas that has the bright canary/safety vis polo shirts? Now those guys look sharp! For miles.

    I am not sure which part of Florida you live in I live in North Florida close to Jacksonville, The county wears green, city wears black and state troopers wear tan....so there is a significant reason I am sure.

    Yeah I kind of agree with Cat on this, I remember once at my job they was trying to make us go to one color nursing scrubs..... I have been at my job for ten years so you can just imagine my closet....It became a big ruckous and did not go over very well we even pulled the card.... but that sad depressed patient cheers up when they see such n such on our scrub smocks ( which is true BTW) so we won the battle THANK GOD! or I would have been ticked.

    Somehow, my new Sheriff got ahold of this and recognized the op's infinite wisdom. He just sent out a memo that our colors have changed. The Brown is out. Our uniforms and cars are now Black and Blue. studentcj, you owe me $1000 for the uniforms I had to go buy.

    Did he have a reason? Maybe he's getting fat and black is slimming. His wife made the call for him.

    I brought it up at our command staff meeting that a criminal justice student hated tan/over green and only wanted to see dark blue or black uniforms on our law enforcement personnel.

    We quickly moved on to the next agenda item without an iota of consideration.

    Sorry, CJ, I know how much this must upset you, but I tried.

    men don't care about black being slimming, I do like the idea of "THE WIFE" making the call though, it's about time you admitted this Mikey

    Don't forget about gray. I wore gray at two of my past departments. One with black pants, the other with dark blue pants...

    Orange is reserved for prisoners. Not a good choice. Incidentally, thats the same reason the university uses those colors.
