?Why do our policewomen wears skirts stockings and high heels in duty?

what's with the name change albert? i'll comment on your discussion in a bit. kinda pressed for time right now. been awhile since i last logged in here in mylot so i'm looking for familiar names and your name sounded oddly familiar although back then it had a different ring to it. anyway, what's with the name change?

Hi CaptAlbertWhisker! As far as I know, policewoman wearing this type of uniform are usually assigned at the home base(headquarters), probably as desk officer. I don't know if the one you have personally seen and experienced was just a special case since I usually saw policewoman wearing pants when they were assigned in the field, usually in traffic management. Anyway I think the top officials of the PNP should ensure that policemen are wearing proper uniform and safety equipment that is appropriate or accordingly to their assigned duties or location. Just what you have seen, criminals will not be apprehended nor will be afraid to commit crimes if they know they have some advantages with the policeman. Have a nice day!

That got me thinking for a while too. See, I'm a registered nurse and it's sometimes pretty difficult moving in an a-line skirt, stockings, and hard shoes. Some hospitals allow scrub suits with comfortable pants, "shirt", and rubber shoes, while others keep the old style. Then I saw some policewomen in our area (there's a police camp near our area) and it really makes me wonder too how they can run after a criminal in those. I believe PNP, though concerned about catching criminals, is also more concerned of their image thus making women in the police force wear such respectable uniform. But again, it's not really functional right? Lol

I guess it happens in most Asian country. I guess it is because of our custom that a woman should be fragile and demure? In Indonesia, too police women wear skirt, but not high heels fortunately.

I think their attire is ridiculous.How are they going to run after bad guys with those high heels and skirt? I think it is also a discomfort to them. And the men are wearing black leather shoes too. Are cops dressed to look good? I think not, the police here are well dress.ready for combat.their are wearing sneakers which are best for running after criminals or bad guys.

greetings! is it really a requirement for them to wear those? or they do have any choice with their footwear? if it's a requirement, i guess it's an absurd requirement. unless they really want them to look really nice, LOL

Very nice observation there and I agree with you. Wearing this kind of uniform on duty is more of a hindrance to prevent crime from happening. Although the dress can somehow be used on a much formal occasions. But for normal daily duty they should be wearing a more comfortable uniform that this one.

I think women cops wearing outfits like that is a really bad idea. Say they are on duty and have to go chase down some criminal. They will not be able to run nearly as fast with heels and a skirt of that length. Those outfits look fine like you said for a flight stewardess but not for a police woman. I just think thats impractical for them to be dressed like that.

well I think it's the governments way of making a mockery of women in a "mans" field. I as a woman find it unfair. in america the female cops are dressed just like the men.

Hello Captain, I don't know but i guess it's for formality sake, am not sure but they will change their mind in that mini skirt if rape happens on a female cop, which highly unlikely for now. i guess it was meant to attract attention and give a bit of lessen the tension most specially in the rallies where women cops are mostly put there for me, i believe this is to disguise their badasses and let the criminals underestimate them. that's the way it is, if you make them have pants, then they are also look intimidating like the men cops

The police have different sets of uniform and you're right about your observations maybe what they could do is wear the mini when they're reporting at HQ and wear pants when they're on field duty.

I also don't know. But i think they're wearing that because they're just working on the office. And the thing that you saw is maybe a coincidence that no one could chase the criminal so she has no choice to fulfill her duty. But i think they have a certain uniform which they wear when they are patrolling.

for the ladies ,i think the first concern is the functional scenario.if the women is going to be exercise or playing a sport,then i recommand long iust above the knee dress short with pleats.it is not right to wear short skirt to policewomens.those are modest still privide full moment .actually their are these thing called skorts that are actually shorts that look the skirts.those are really modest if you get them in a long enough lenghth. for anythinh not active,then i think that ioose fitting slacks of below the knee length skirts are modest,but functionalst..loose fittinh jeans are modest but i dont like jeans because a women cannot expressed herself with colour

I wonder the same thing. I think they (whoever is on top of the chain of commands) don't have any intention of putting policewomen in the field but only in the offices.

You are correct! I have thesame question with that, I mean if they are wearing skirts, and high heels they would really be having a hard time chasing criminals. I dont mean to be skeptic about this but hey where's the common sense, they need to be relaxed and comfortable when they are on duty and not like that wearing skirts. The government should do something about this too. I mean yes it's their uniform but hey they are having difficulty with it unless they are just inside the office. Anyways, I just hope that the government will do something about it.
