The Police Uniform: To Wear or Not Wear?
The police uniform with its attendant gun and badge is like a neon sign. When you walk into a room wearing a
uniform, attention is immediately drawn to you. The uniform communicates an immediate and powerful message:
authority, security, integrity, trust, safety—and to some, a threat. For some people the uniform has a very positive effect,
which allows you to establish an immediate rapport with many groups. Wearing your uniform sends a dual message that
you are serious about your topic and that your department supports you. It conveys to an audience that you know what the
options are and how best to handle a situation.
For others, the uniform can be intimidating. Some people are uncomfortable in the presence of authority, and the
uniform is a symbol of authority. A hostile audience has a tendency to talk to the uniform and not to the person in the
uniform. In such situations you might want to wear street clothes, which can convey several meanings. You can be all
business, wearing a suit. You can convey a more relaxed message with casual attire. (The Strategic Dressing chart
provides some general guidelines for using clothing to set a tone.) Each article of clothing worn for a specific situation
conveys a unique message about you as an officer and as a person. Repeated contact will let the community come to
know you more as a person who wears a uniform and less as a uniform with a person in it.
【題組】44 What message is NOT conveyed to an audience if you wear police uniform?
(A)Integrity. (B)Safety. (C)Authority. (D)Peace and war.
