I've thought of a solution to the Cops Look Like Soldiers thing that bothers me.
Hats.
The uniform hat that goes with the OD green coverall and MOLLE webbing is a pith helmet with a shiny silver shield with the department logo.
A ball-cap with embroidered logo is the uniform hat for the "cop looking" uniform of slacks, shirt and gun-belt.
The officer may chose either uniform.
Going without your hat is not authorized.
Wearing of the ball cap is not authorized with any other uniform.
Do not lose your hat!
