Police officers adhere to a strict code, and it includes what pants they put on in the morning.

The men in blue have slim pickings, but what wardrobe options they have can be found at AD Meyers Uniforms on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn.

This is where — strictly with an NYPD ID — police officers can suit up with new cargo pants, jackets, blue turtle necks, bulletproof vests, gun holsters, belts, warm gloves, flashlights and everything that hangs off their leather belts — even handcuffs, which have an annoying tendency to get lost during the transfer of a prisoner at central booking. Plus, some cops like to keep extra pairs. "Sometimes you need two or three cuffs to cuff one guy," said Kevin Winters, 36, the co-owner of AD Meyers, a family business run with his brother, Joe, and their father, John.

There's one exception to outfitting a cop at Meyers: "No guns and no ammunition. Too many licenses, too many fire proof safes, too many problems," Kevin said.

The store carries uniforms for a variety of city and federal agencies, including traffic, school safety, postal, sanitation and corrections, but the vast majority of clients are NYPD, simply because of the size of the force. With a work force of approximately 34,500, it dwarfs the other agencies.
