In 2024, then Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia updated the department’s policy to allow officers to display tattoos.
Current Chief Daniel Comeaux has gone one step farther, and will now allow officers to wear baseball caps, display hand tattoos, and have nose studs.
According to an internal memo obtained by WFAA, the baseball caps must be issued by the department's Quartermaster or those provided by police associations; hand and finger tattoos must be approved in accordance with department General Orders and reviewed by the Body Art Approval Board; and officers are now allowed to wear a single nose stud on either side. It must be a plain gold or silver metallic ball, a plain gold or silver circular flat stud, or a single clear, round-cut gemstone, though they may not exceed 1.5 millimeters in diameter.
This is the second change Comeaux has outlined in the department’s dress policy. Last August, he gave officers the option to wear cowboy hats.
