What attire is not allowed for Academy commuters?

Casual clothing such as t-shirts and shorts is not permitted for Academy commuters because it does not meet the professional standards expected of law enforcement trainees. The Academy emphasizes discipline, professionalism, and readiness, which are reflected in the attire worn by recruits. Wearing business casual attire or a suit and tie aligns more closely with the formal environment of the Academy and the professional image that law enforcement personnel are expected to uphold. Uniforms for all recruits, while specific to training, are also designed to promote unity and professionalism. In contrast, casual clothing can diminish the seriousness of the training environment and the image of the law enforcement profession.
