Arapahoe County sheriff’s deputies are wearing cowboy hats for the first time in decades
After a decades-long ban on wearing uniforms, Arapahoe County sheriff’s deputies will once again be allowed to wear cowboy hats while on patrol.
The last time Arapahoe County officers were allowed to wear cowboy hats was the early 1980s. This is evident from a social media post from the sheriff’s office.
Cowboy hats are an optional addition to the uniform and officers must purchase their own, the sheriff’s office said. The hat is a black wool Stetson from the Stallion Collection.
Arapahoe County Sheriff Tyler Brown recently approved the new dress code policy, and several deputies have already adopted the new look.
“Don’t be surprised if you see more and more of them, especially in eastern Arapahoe County,” the sheriff’s office said Saturday.
