Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.
With 279,482 views on Thursday, 25 May 2017 our article of the day is Police uniforms of the United States.
Police uniforms in the United States vary widely due to the nation's tradition of highly decentralized law enforcement. Over time, however, a number of general conventions and styles have become representative of American police fashion. Police officers wear uniforms to deter crime by establishing a visible presence while on patrol, to make themselves easily identifiable to non-police officers or their colleagues who require assistance, and to quickly identify each other at crime scenes for ease of coordination.
