Everyday Work Uniform or Clothing at it’s Best
The demands placed upon police uniforms far surpass those of any other profession. Everyday dress clothing must be comfortable and allow for full freedom of movement. Uniforms must be sharp and professional for the public yet morph in seconds into part of the officer’s tactical emergency gear. Police clothing must be rugged, comfortable and professional.
The basic police shirt and pants is the uniform officers present to the public. This outward appearance needs to appear approachable yet dependable. It should be comfortably cut to allow for movement in the back, arms and legs yet not so big as to seem sloppy. Law enforcement personnel work long days so a uniform that is easy to care for is the best bet. These pieces of clothing need to look great without needing an iron.
Fabrics such as cotton, polyester and lycra provide the comfort officers need. These fabrics are breathable and wick away moisture to help with body temperature regulation. They reduce body heat and sweat in the summer but still retain heat and keep the wearer dry in the winter.
Police pants should be good looking but provide plenty of gear pockets. A silicone bead along the waist keeps shirts tucked in and professional. Deep, pleated pockets stow tactical weaponry within easy reach. A comfortable sport cut and room for knee pads permits full range of motion for emergency personnel.
This everyday clothing forms the base layer over which an officer wears their tactical police gear. Armor shirts and vests should be easy to put on and comfortable to wear. Older models of body armor were restrictive, heavy and hot. In addition body armor should provide serious protection from injury for the officer but not be overly intimidating in appearance. Oftentimes body armor sports a military look that can be threatening to the public. Tactical police gear that is subtle and looks like a regular uniform is often the best approach in crowd control situations. Bauer’s has the most modern police vest that slips discreetly over shirts.
