Speaking of stupid department policies, we have one that says no shorts until May 1st every year.

Is that station pants or down time too? I have no issue with wearing pants 365 and I live in the deep south. Only 1 guys on our dept wears them. It's really not that big of a deal as I also wear pants outside work almost all the time. You get used to it.

Pants and polo or button down depending on the officer. They tried to do no hats as well but the damn near caused a mutiny.
