I can't help but think of Chris Ladeaux's, "This Cowboy's Hat".

Texas Department of Public Safety, aka State Troopers, have always worn cowboy hats. I wore a cowboy hat when I worked for a sheriffs department, and they were part of department uniform issue a a police department i worked at. I still wear one every day, and the sheriffs department here all wear cowboy hats.
Its what we do down here.  ;)

Got a new silver belly every fall, and a new straw every spring, department furnished. 8)

  Yeah; I can't imagine whose big idea that was..but no surprise, it was dead on arrival !

  From my several years living in Texas, I suspect telling almost any Texas LEO that they could not wear a cowboy hat on duty..would be about the same as telling him
   him he could not wear his  pants on duty!
