Do you guys think an department should let it's officers wear tactical uniforms (511/ bdu pants, t shirt, external vest carrier with all the goodies, thigh holster, ball cap, facial hair, etc), make all officers wear a traditional uniform with all items matching, including belt items (think most state patrols), or is the best option a middle ground?
Personally, I love the look of a traditional uniform with all members looking the same, but from work the street, I love the functionality and comfort of a relaxed uniform. My ideal uniform would have hidden cargo pockets on the pants, Chicago style external vest carriers (look like a uniform shirt, but sometimes with some extra pockets), and allow polo shirts or something this these http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standa...s-his-force.do on nights and weekends. There would also be a campaign hat for use with the regular uniform, but it would be up to the officer on when to wear them.
