OK, you might think this is a rather stupid poll, but I'm just wondering what everyone thinks about chewing gum on-duty.

Is Chewing Gum Unprofessional?

If you're not chewing it like a cow and popping bubbles in other people's faces then it's fine. Keep in mind that it can become a choking hazard if you're job gets a little bit more exciting.
Just out of curiousity, did you pull someone over while chewing gum and get reamed out from them for it being unprofessional and rude? I get that all the time at work. Mind you, I don't work in law enforcement yet, but I do deal with inconsiderate jerks. (I work at Wally World).

I'd rather see a cop with chewing gum in his mouth than a wad of tobacco stuck behind his (her?) lip. Not only that, but the spit cup in the car is rather disgusting, and so are streaks on the side of the car from spitting.Extremism in the pursuit of liberty is no vice. Barry Goldwater

I caught a police officer smoking in his squad car once. That looked very unprofessional to me.

Yeah smoking...............
I am not an officer, but would like to share...........
Last week I was driving on the interstate when I saw an officer in full uniform, driving his own vehicle. He was laughing hysterically on his cell phone all while puffing away on a cigarette. I usually don't see anything that unprofessional around here. The public image of the
County Police Department was for a moment there tarnished in a way. I would take allot of pride in wearing such a uniform, but he did not. Perhaps a probie? I don't know? FYI, using a cell phone while driving is against the law in NY State. I understand he is a MOS, but for public image reasons that's not too cool. His conversation was obviously not work related. But if it was that important?, I will never know. The Highway Troopers don
