Answer 1

I'm sure if you brought it up with the police chief or mayor or county government they would try their best to remedy your concern.  you also could always spend some of your own money to get the ball rolling.

Answer 2

Just call your local city managers office and tell them the same story...

Answer 3

All Police in Australia are required to wear a reflective vest when they get out of the patrol car.

They also have HI VIS raincoats, which are bright yellow, with reflective stripes sewn onto it.

I belive this is the same in New Zeland.

I think that if you start a petion stating the facts, and that it is a requirement for law officials in other parts of the world (and also parts of USA - Do some homework) to wear hi vis clothing, and make a petition.

Print it up and either email it to your friends, and have them sign it and email on, and then email it back to you, and make up a copy and put it in your local stores, etc, and then hand it to your local police precinct, as well as local council or government, you should get there.

Answer 4

cops wear dark colors at night because they are required to respond to emergency situations that may require them to be stealthy in apprehending a suspect. All cops carry black beanies and black gloves on them for this purpose, but patrol cars are also required to have reflector vests in them in case of an emergency traffic controlling situation, so its really a personal decision for a police officer or deputy to wear them or not during a traffic citation

Answer 5

I live in Canada, and all police officers, emergency workers and construction workers must wear safety vests whenever they are on the highways.

Call your local Police and find out the policy where you live......also talk to your local Dept. of Transportation to find out more information on this.
