Model Suggestion New RTU hat/differentiate from patrol officers

[LTUgidas]

Suggestion Title: New RTU hat/differentiate from patrol officers
Suggestion Description: New RTU hat/differentiate from patrol officers, could be a like (hat see picture) or other color hat

Why should this be added?:
It would be great to add a new RTU hat or some kind of distinctive headwear to help tell traffic officers apart from regular patrol officers. Right now, unless someone’s wearing the hi-vis vest or you can read the “Traffic Officer” text on the back, it’s hard to tell the difference. A unique hat would make it easier for both officers and civilians to recognize traffic officers from a distance, which would be helpful for everyone.

What negatives could this have?:
- Developer time

What problem would this suggestion solve?: Making RTU bit diffrent from regular PD patrol officers

I like the idea generally, however what use is it to actually be able to identify an RTU Officer from a distance?

I suppose it would identify them as having less armour than patrol officers, which is something practical, however adding something because it looks cool and adds variety is a perfectly valid reason in of itself.

The officers that Are going to use these hats will never turn their bodycam on…

A possible idea for the RTU Hat could be a British/English adaption - possibly a white visor cap with the chequerboard pattern? This is true to what Road Traffic Officers wear here, so it would make sense and certainly stands out.

Give them a traffic cone as a hat, that will surely solve any issues.

Amen to that, we might act like the Georgia State Patrol from time to time but we'll keep our asses covered while doing it.

On a serious note, a different hat would be nice, just don't make it overly British... Afterall this PD is a mix of both American and British

TFU has a different hat from patrol and rtu plus they get glasses. poor RTU just looks the same as normal patrol officers when they dont have their vests on

If I get that hat, im becoming Cassius Thundercock and getting IA everyday.
