Which employees are subject to the jewelry and body modification guidelines?

The jewelry and body modification guidelines apply to all employees, both sworn and non-sworn, because maintaining a professional appearance is essential for fostering public trust and ensuring consistency within the organization. These guidelines help to uphold the values and image of the police department as it interacts with the community.

By including both sworn and non-sworn employees, the policies ensure that every representative of the department adheres to the same standards regardless of their role or duties. This uniformity reinforces the principle that every employee is part of a larger mission and public service commitment. Thus, regardless of one's position within the department, adherence to these guidelines reflects professionalism and the department's dedication to its values and standards.
