Why Lancashire Police is scrapping baseball caps in favour of flat caps and bowler hats
Police and Crime Commissioner, Andrew Snowden said:"This change is about reinforcing the figures of authority police officers should be in our communities. The uniform and appearance of police officers is an important part of that and I think the baseball caps were a backward step in how modern policing is presented given that now more than ever the values of respect, pride and professionalism are so important.
“From conversations I have had with people and communities across the Lancashire Constabulary area, I know this will be a warmly welcomed move." "I make it clear to my staff – both new recruits and those officers with more service – that I have high standards. I expect them to be smart when on duty, and I expect them to deliver a high quality of service to our communities.”
