 I am a Texas Sheriff's Deputy and have been granted permission to begin some research on agency policies re-guarding tattoos. Our agency currently does not have a set policy but has a temporary policy to cover tattoos until a policy is put in place. I am looking to get copies of policies from any where but primarily in Texas. I am aware that there are many different standards and we are looking to find what others are using and put something together that our agency can work with in all areas and in the hire process.


Any help anyone can give with copies would be great.


 


Please send copies to the below addresses.


 


Thank you,


 


Deputy Allen Turner

I can tell you that on the Left Coast most agencies have embedded policies that simply say that an officer must cover tats when working. Long sleeve shirts or equivalent have become the norm.


Also, a quick Google search will provide some information.

Usually departments have you cover your tattoos. My department has the policy of covering your tattoos with the only exception being the deputies who were "grandfathered in" when the policy was put in place. They aren't required to cover their tattoos so we have a double standard in place. I don't agree with that but...
