Yep all done!

I too have seen officers of the law Kilted at various events that are Celtic related. Even the bicycle patrol looked awesome at Estes Park several years ago, riding in the parade.

Just emailed the pics to their chief to forward to them.

If you wanna thank the chief for allowing them to work kilted, or wanna apply for a job, the chief's email is document.write('JMcCann'+'@'+'coconino.az.gov') JMcCann@coconino.az.govFor security reasons, you must enable JavaScript to view this E-mail address.

It looks to me like they are wearing the Sutherland tartan.

I like the officer in #2 better. The dark hose, pulled up, look sharp and more in keeping with the uniform.

The officer in #1, with the hose pushed down, looks too casual for being on-duty. To me, the hose-pushed-down look is a casual, wear to the pub, go for a walkabout, kind of look. Rather like the equivalent of wearing your shirt untucked. Loose, casual and comfy. For an officer on duty, I would have worn them pulled up.

And one last thing -- if you wear your hose pushed down, please no garter flashes!

Are there any pictures of kilted police officers - or kilted anyone - riding bicycles?

I have yet to figure out how kilts can be worn "on-bike" with any semblance of modesty. Mounting, dismounting, and airspeed are all problems. Perhaps the old style ladies frames could help with the first two. :confused:

I too have seen the Estes Park PD on bicycles. Don't have any photos but that can be fixed in September. Everyone on the PD there wears the kilt during the games, the ones providing security AND those on regular patrol. The only ones I've seen without have been either newer or not full time. All this based on the last 7+ years of spending the weekend after Labor Day in Estes Park, CO for the LONGS PEAK SCOTTISH/IRISH HIGHLAND FESTIVAL.
