therascal Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Because light and visibility can change quickly - especially in our British climate I guess. Anything that makes police personnel highly visible and safe has to be good surely ? It doesn't bother me one bit that they are worn in bright conditions - I have far more important things in my life to be concerned about.

El Cid Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I think these hi viz vests are to enable the wearer to be seen in low light situations. Why they are worn in bright daylight hours is a bit mystery. Angel1. Us council workers are up before it gets light, and we don't have a spare minute to take them off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASGOWOODS Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 What ever happened to our police constables being smartly dressed whilst in public? They now wear these offencive [green fluorescent costumes] that makes them look like refuse collectors! Maybe it’s so the general public don’t stand on them because they all seem so small these days.

No it isn't a good thing. Police officers are supposed to fight crime not be seen to fight crime. Crime detection rates are in the toilet because they are spending their time and money on the wrong things, like painting their nails and being seen. When police officers are made to dress like litter pickers the public makes an existential judgement and treats them with the requisite amount of respect. The downward spiral continues and we find ourselves where we are with the police not commanding the respect that WE the public want them to have. All because somebody thought that they should be Highly Vizible (sp) for insurance purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
