In November, new Police Chief Ed Kraus said beards wouldn’t be allowed. But on Friday, he said enough officers want a beard, so he was willing to give it a try.
As a former deputy, I think the beards look inappropriate in uniform. Want a beard, go to detectives. It's a huge fad and it looks bad . Tac vests and beards. Sooo cooool. No. Not really.
Nope. Sorry. This is completely unprofessional. Poor judgement by the decision-maker. This'll also prove to be gross when it comes to incidents where officers don't have time to don PPE like FD and EMS. But whatever, first will be these unkempt smelly beards-give it a few years-and next they'll be allowing our law enforcers to have face tattoos. What's wrong with you ppl??!
Arabian & Indian already can have beards AND turbans. The Indian office killed in Houston had a beard and a turban. Basically, this just allows everyone else.
