The NYPD plans to step up dress code enforcement for uniformed officers, and among the changes is that they will not be able to wear shorts, turtlenecks, or non-black shoelaces. .
The possible application of this measure has generated reactions from the Police Benevolent Association (the police union).
The president of this organization, Patrick Hendry, said in a statement:
“The timing and handling of these changes by the Police Department is completely wrong… The NYPD has much bigger problems to address,” Hendry said. “We are still understaffed and lose hundreds of police officers every month. Clamping down on uniforms will only cause more talented police officers to walk out the door.”
In the statement, the Police Benevolent Association also stated that it will present a legal appeal against these new orders.
According to our sources, starting next month NYPD officers will not be able to wear shorts, turtlenecks, or shoelaces that are not black.
Officers will be able to wear short sleeves on days when temperatures above 65 degrees are expected.
