Police officers working in downtown Calgary will soon sport a distinctly western fashion accessory: cowboy hats. According to city officials, the new hats are both fashionable and user-friendly.
Officers walking the downtown beat cover about 12 kilometres on a shift, and the patrol extends around the clock -- from the hottest summer days to the coldest winter nights.

It will cost $12000??? I AM OUTRAGED!!!
But seriously though, I thought this was funny:
Quote:
When asked if the hats make officers appear less tough, Const. John Pearson said that the uniform is only a small part of the job.
"Being tough enough has more to do with the way we do our jobs than what we wear," he said.

Really? Are there people that are concerned that the hats will make them seem 'less tough'? If that were a problem, then I am sure the cops in England would have changed their head-gear a long time ago.
