"Skittle patrol". Maybe he ment that everyone kinda dresses the way they feel like. Some might wear cowboy boots while others are wearing shoes or other boots? If that's the case I agree with him. Your own photo showed police officers all dressed the same, there was not one guy who had a baseball cap or no hat at all. Uniformity!Boys,
I've saw this going on for years, every time a newly elected Sheriff comes into office
they want to root the old timers out, especially those with decades of experience,
no sheriff wants deputies that, they (sheriffs) think know more and or have more experience that they do.
What with Gene Bryson having eight times the service and experience,
than that of the newly elected Stephen Haskell has, with his three years in law enforcement under his belt......
In Haskell's own words that his deputies, looked like a "Skittle Patrol".
Makes me wonder just what image he wants to portrayed before the public eye with combat boots and baseball caps.
Class A's call for a tie and campaign hat, sheriffs style hat or a western style of cover.
Ball caps are fine for the firing range and softball games.......

Wonder what he would say to this vetran ?
Iggy, I prefer your way. I recently read something from Simply Rugged, where a Texas lawman contacted him about holsters for his carry Colt 1911 and backup Colt SAA. Sounds like my kind of guy.Your friend Iggy is just sittin' here shakin' his head and thinkin' "git out while the gittin's good."
Old dinosaurs like me and Gene need to step aside.
The Wyoming that he and I knew is gone. Law Enforcement has changed, society has changed. It's hard to accept the changes we have seen, but our time has come and gone.
BTW, when the WHP went to Smokey Bear hats, I went to ranchin'..
I reckon he and I should just keep on wearin' our boots and Stetsons and take pride in the time we served the citizens of the State of Wyoming that use to be.

Old dinosaurs like me and Gene need to step aside. We were from a time when "Officer Presence" was more important than "swat pants" and combat boots.
