NOPD officer punished for wearing the wrong uniform
#1
With minutes left in the last shift of his 35-year New Orleans police career, Sgt. Bobby Guidry received a call from a supervisor telling him he had been suspended for wearing the wrong uniform shirt, the veteran officer said.

The Police Department confirmed the censure Tuesday, though it quibbled with the term "suspended." Rather, Guidry is "under investigation for wearing the wrong uniform," said Police Department spokesman Bob Young.

Instead of the standard-issue all-black uniform, Guidry, a veteran officer in the city's Uptown 2nd District, chose the powder-blue uniform shirt that he wore to work for more than three decades.


He viewed it as a simple statement, not an affront to rules or department leadership.

i just replied to this elsewhere.

funny thing is, it's not funny. i got sent home from briefing when i was a rookie, for wearing a black tee-shirt under my uniform shirt. only SWAT guys were allowed to wear black tee.

Instead of telling him to go home to change on the morning of his last day, they wait till the last 15 minutes and give him some bullshit 'investigative' suspension.

Sounds like management was getting back at this guy for some reason.

When Ifirst started working for the police back in 93 I worked in the property/evidence lock up, I had to wear the civilian uniform, black trousers, white shirt, red tie, red epilettes with your civilian number on. I once turned up to do overtime whena major cannabis haul was being numbered and catalogued in a burgundy tie and I was sent home!
