A decades-old fashion trend is hitting police departments and sheriff’s offices across the state, and it’s just about as Colorado as it gets.
Many departments across the state are allowing cowboy hats as part of the uniform.
Deputies in Boulder and Arapahoe County posted about the new look earlier this year. Now, University of Colorado Boulder police officers are carrying on the fad and sporting the hats too.
As of early July, the university told FOX31 that police and residential service officers were granted permission to wear cowboy hats meeting certain specifications.
