Tired of Dressing Up
Can anyone tell me why we have to wear uniforms or business attire when we are confined to the dispatch area and do not deal with the public directly. I have been trying to get my department to allow dispatchers to come in in sweatpants or (tasteful) pajamas, but they refuse to entertain any of these ideas. Answering a phone wearing a uniform is the same as answering a phone in a two piece pajama set only with the pajamas I'm not sweating as much. If we have a planed meeting with the public or the media for example, I have no problem with bathing that day, using make-up, and wearing the uniform but everyday? Come on...let common sense rule. Allow us to be comfortable.

Here is an intresting concept.
Look Professional, Act professional, BE professional.
Let the slobs work somewhere else.

i somewhat agree
I agree with you that we should be able to wear sweatpants and t-shirts, although I'm not so sure about the whole pajamas thing. I always thought pajamas should be reserved for night-time. I also think that one should only wear pajamas in front of ones spouse, not co-workers or even friends. Some call me old-fasioned but I think the old ways are best. Clothes in the day and pajamas in night.

Studies have proven that if you dress in a professional manner, then you tend to act in professional manner. But there is nothing wrong in allowing sweatpants and a fitting t-shirt(with a communications logo on them) on the midnight shift..to me that is the worst shift to be comfortable in wearing uniforms with a belt.

simply put people can't be trusted. as soon as you allow dress down all the time you would be amazed at the crap people wear to the center. you work in law enforcement, dress down is nice, but you have to expect to wear a uniform.
