Well at least they’ve finally stopped skirting the issue.

It's about time.

Dang.

will no longer have to wear skirts

a quarter into the century, and only NOW this is a thing?

Good (but very belated) decision.

Who wrote that headline? Good job, nobody would click on it otherwise, the title of course is misinformation, but for clicks...

Article makes it clear they didn't have to wear skirts before, but the option.

Dang.

C'mon. You can tell the sexes apart even by looking at their outlines and yes, their faces. Women are always 'softer' and more 'tender' than men. Besides, if nothing else women cops wearing women's pants makes doing the police easier for them - less fuss. It's that way in many nations' armed forces so why not police?

Welcome to the 21st Century.
