VIDEO: No tattoos for these officers
“What we want to do is look like a more professional agency. We are banning visible tattoos above the neckline and below the elbow.” – Chief William McManus, San Antonio Police Dept.
San Antonio police officers sporting tattoos will be required to cover up their body art. Chief William McManus said the department has already begun enforcing its first policy banning visible tattoos for officers in uniform. McManus said it’s an effort to make the department look more professional.
“What we want to do is look like a more professional agency with requiring people to cover up tattoos,” Chief McManus said to reporters from KSAT News in San Antonio. “Basically what it does, it bans visible tattoos above the neckline and below the elbow.”
McManus said he’s been contemplating the tattoo policy for over a year and now was the right time to implement it.
