Over the last 10 months, you may have noticed that some of our police officers and staff members have been displaying their tattoos while in uniform. This is a part of a pilot program to explore allowing employees to show body art while on duty. These tattoos must adhere to strict guidelines and go through an approval process prior to thier display.
The Brea Police Department is doing this to improve officer comfort in hot weather, as a recruitment/retention incentive, and to "humanize" the badge.
In an internal survey, Brea Police employees overwhelmingly voted in favor of implementing a body art policy.
