Found my old police shoes! Shoes, not boots. They still look quite smart ... old but smart.
It made me wonder. Do police officers actually wear plain shoes any more? I appreciate that boots are a very necessary requirement for active duty, but in the old days it was a personal choice of boots or shoes for duty, whilst plain shoes were pretty much expected for things like court appearances, visits to homes to take statements, etc and driving.
I wonder if it’s now PPE requirements, including footwear, for every aspect of duty?
We have a retired police officer?
To be honest, I have never really thought about that, not until now, Marky, the funny thing was, my son and I were involved in an accident with a deer, where we had to call the police, due to where the accident took place, a young couple turned up, I never thought to look at their feet, now, if I’d done so, I’d be answering your question as I type, next time I see a police officer, I will definitely look at their feet and let you know,
I wonder also if they have steel toe caps.
How many yrs did you serve?...also I bet you have seen changes?
