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.
