Police force to abandon 'Gender Neutral' headwear

I see no issue with peaked caps vs bowler hats, but the custodian helmet offers more protection than the equivalents issued to female officers.

I literally just watched the Harry Miller/Triggernometry interview.

the first part is about his recent arrest but then gets into general talk about police. The amount of money and resources going on to things that don''t serve the public is amazing.

I would be, and am, more peeved that they turn up to investigate serious crimes driving a fucking clown car. Ffs.

That isn’t why Northants police introduced them at all. They were introduced because the old hats were cumbersome. They were then scrapped a few months later by the new Chief Constable Nick Adderley because the bump caps were incredibly unpopular with police officers and looked scruffy. Nothing more to it.

See, when is the average Joe going to see through this shit? I saw an article (possibly the mirror) that said it took an hour for the police to arrive at the scene if the shooting that killed that little 9yo girl Olivia, in Liverpool. Whether that's true or not, an hour. Yet there's money to spend on a piece of uniform designed to stave off offence from within.

Combined with the text messages sent between serving met officers and the contempt they clearly hold normal people in, when, when will we rise up and say no more?

Why should male and female police officers be wearing different hats in the first place is the real question. I don't think this has much to do with trans people at all - a hat is a hat and it's archaic that male and female police officers have to wear different uniforms in the first place.

Surely a trans woman police officer would wear the women's helmet, and a trans man officer would wear the men's.

How many can there actually be though?

If anyone says anything about this group the response is that it's such a small amount of people, what does it matter?
Then things are changed for everyone because they will be "more comfortable", it's just ridiculous pandering.

paid more than £23,000 to […] eradicate the issue of transgender officers having to decide between custodian helmets for males and bowler hats for females.

How many transgender officers did they have? It is truly beyond me how a cash strapped public service can still be wasting so much money on utterly frivolous irrationality.
