Policing in a diverse community like Cedar Hill means hiring officers who look like the community we serve. In an effort to better reflect that goal and to enhance our officers' quality of work-life, we recently modified our policies to allow officers to wear facial hair and exposed tattoos (some restrictions apply).
We also realize having the right equipment means equipment that promotes the long-term health of our officers. For this reason, our patrol officers are able to wear load-bearing vests to ease the strain on their backs often associated with carrying equipment on belts (some restrictions apply).
