What is the rule for tattoos for Riverside Sheriff's Department

Question

Are tattoos ok with the Riverside Sheriff's Department. I have sleeves and just passed my test with high scores, but wondering if my tattoos are going to be a problem? They are not gang tats nor offensive to anyone.

Answer 1

Most departments consider it unprofessional to have that many tattoos. My rule with my officers is: When in doubt cover it up. That is the best rule to go by with tattoos. If the people on the street don't see it then you will be fine. Just wear long sleeves to any and all meetings with you background investigator and on the street.
