The Mesquite Police Department is going cowboy, y’all!
In recognition of National Hat Day on Sunday, the police department recently announced the majority of their police officers have begun wearing cowboy hats as a part of their uniform.
“This cowboy hat is an alternate to the standard-issued hat all police officers receive as a part of their uniform,” explained Chief Charles Cato. “We have 180 of 220 uniformed police officers who have chosen to wear the new cowboy hat in the field as additional protection from various weather elements.”
