Our Beliefs and Values Illustrated

I see many people on this message board complaining about the policies The Sheriff has enacted to create a professional and progressive appearance to the citizens. On and on and on and on and on these people go about how it's not negative for the public to see deputies smoking dirty cigarettes, displaying trashy tattoos and looking like musclebound apes. And how many times have the professional and progressive members of this agency had to explain to those people exactly why these policies are important?!
Well, our beliefs have been illustrated very clearly and now no one can dispute the Truth for it is right before your eyes. IT is Dog the Bounty Hunter.
First off, I don't want anyone rationalizing his appearance by saying he is rich or famous. That is apples and oranges. What makes interesting reality television does NOT equate to professionalism or progressiveness in the real world. Although he is not truly a law enforcement professional, he is, in fact, making his living in the criminal justice field. Because of this he makes us all look bad. All we can do is try and distance ourselves from him by looking and acting professional and progressive.
Dog the Bounty Hunter smokes several packs of disgusting cigarettes per day. Anyone with any level of formal education knows the health risks of smoking so I can safely assume that Dog is not a college or university graduate. Smoking cigarettes makes people in the criminal justice field look lower class. Just stop it.
Dog the Bounty Hunter has his skin littered with trashy tattoos. He most likely acquired these while serving time in prison. No one can describe any situation in which any kind of tattoo looks anything less than unprofessional. When a citizen sees your beloved ink they immediately assume you grew up in a lower class environment or served time in jail. Tattoo removal is very common these days so there is no excuse.
Dog the Bounty Hunter looks like some kind of half-witted ape running around with his biceps and pectorals ready to explode. He looks like some kind of deranged predator or primative neanderthal. When the citizens see someone of his ilk they immediately (and rightly) assume that he is of lower class intellectually. One should strive for physical fitness in order to avoid the appearance of being a fat slob but I think a swimmer's physique looks more professional and progressive. Imagine how intimidated a little old lady citizen would feel if some meathead came dragging his knuckles up to her front door when she calls for help. The raging testosterone is unbecoming of a professional law enforcement official. The Sheriff gives you a car to transport prisoners to jail so you don't need enough muscle to throw your prisoner all around. Tone it down.
Don't even get me started on Dog's unprofessional hair style.
Dog the Bounty Hunter is the answer to all the "why" questions that come up when policies are enacted enforcing professional and progressive appearance.
It's just sad and threatening that we all bear the brunt of people like Dog claiming to be part of the criminal justice profession.
And anyone who disagrees with me must not be thinking this all the way through. There is a time and place to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger acting as a trailer park version of Conan the Barbarian. That time and place is when you have your own bounty hunter reality show or on Halloween. I would say his appearance would be unprofessional if it was a costume at a Halloween party attended by other agency employees or any citizen who knew you were employed by the agency.
They have our best interest in mind when they ask us to look professional and progressive. The citizens respect us more which makes you less likely to be involved in a physical altercation. It is best if the commissioners and citizens imagine us as clean, classy professionals rather than as rabid, uncooth tattooed smokers trying to wrestle down every criminal like he was some sort of crocodile.
In essence, think about the greater good of the agency and your fellow law enforcement professionals before you light your next cigarette, get a new tattoo, or make your body look like a big overgrown primate.
Thanks and be safe.

Got news for ya Mr. Perfect, I smoke and me and my husband made $300,000 dollars last year the old fashioned way, we earned it. He earned it. I have a million dollars worth of assets, damn good for a smoker hah? My son has a tattoo and is in law school and a very intelligent human being who scored WAY above average on his IQ test. Not everyone dances around in pink panties like you. Pretty is as pretty does. Get a life jackass.

Mussle bound freak or fat lazy overweight officer that can't even walk around the car much less fit it the car without having the seat moved back. I choose Mussle bound.

This is just horrible. I am sorry but I believe all officers can be of use in many different areas. That is like saying so and so can not be an officer because they are too short. Being overweight does not mean your lazy. Sometimes thats just the way of the old DNA. If they make it through the Academy and they are an officer. theres a job that can be done by them. Why do they need to look a certain way? (besides proffessional of course)

not all officers need to be muscle bound freaks. if only all officers had the proper training needed to competently do their jobs. but, our wonderful WCSO is so afraid of gaining a few hours of comp time, they would rather see their foot soldiers fail. a well trained officer will outperform any muscle jockey or book nerd any time, any where. training is what our officers need along with a few other deficiencies.
