Kenneth,
Looking at that last photo, the kilted officer may be wearing the same jacket as the others, just hiding the skirts of the jacket under the kilt. There's a small dimple in the front apron of his kilt by the right side of his sporran (to your left when looking at the photo) that does not appear to be resulting from the weight of his sporran and/or the sporran chain.
As an aside, the Louisville Metro Police department is starting up a pipe band, open to any law enforcement/public service member in the area (the Louisville Pipe Band - LPB - is providing instruction). The Louisville Police Pipes and Drums (LPPD) will be wearing the Ancient Henderson tartan (as does the LPB), but I understand their uniform will be a little more para-military - horsehair sporrans, white spats, possibly feather bonnets, etc. Wearing the same tartan will allow for some cross-over between the bands. If an LPPD member wants to compete, they can play with the LPB at the various Games. Likewise, LPB members will be invited to perform at various events (parades, memrial services, etc.) with the LPPD, especially in the first year or two while the LPPD gets more comfoirtable with playing in public.
