Tips for a Sharp Uniform

As many already know, one of the most important aspects of 'officer presence' is maintaining a meticulous uniform.  Here are a few pointers you may or may not have heard of:

  • Loose Threads: Use a nail clipper to trim all loose threads from your uniform.
  • Lint: Keep a roll of masking tape handy to remove excess lint from your non-work (dress) uniform.
  • Wrinkles: Every officer knows wrinkled uniforms are completely unsatisfactory.
    • If you are bad at ironing, visit a dry-cleaner.
    • Creases give an extra sharp appearance.
  • Footwear: Maintain a good shine on all footwear.
    • Dip a cotton ball in a small amount of water.
    • Apply polish to your boot or shoe normally.
    • Instead of buffing off the polish, apply the wet cotton ball in a swirling motion.
    • Buff the shoe or boot.
    • Repeat until desired shine is achieved.
  • Grooming: Follow your department or unit's grooming standard.
