I don’t wish to derail this thread but do have a question. My observations are that there are more and more police officers who have visible tattoos - some even to full sleeve versions. Is this because they were in the military before entering law enforcement ? Is this a generational thing ?Well, it's definitely true that folks that would not have previously been hired are hired now. Sometimes it's changes that don't really affect anything but tradition. Visible tattoos, for example. I have no idea what the testing process is like now. There used to be height requirements, those died long ago. You can definitely be fatter now that you used to be.
Even in my little white bread town our local PD have multiple visible tattoos showing while in uniform. I’ve yet to see one with tats all the way up to their neck or on their face, but im guessing there’s nothing to prevent that as well.
Why the sudden infatuation and display with body art amount law enforcement ?
