The tote bag is either black, or red with the Marine Corps bulldog logo. A Real Cop's own car is a lot like his patrol car. You will never see a rainbow decal, smiling face, or USM decal on a Real Cop's personal vehicle. The car is equipped with a push-button AM radio. He listens to news, weather, and sports.
Real Cops wear as distinctive a uniform off duty as they wear on duty.
Real Cops wear genuine Levis, western shirts from Sears-Roebuck, and baseball caps with the initials of their agency. Real Cops do not wear designer jeans, Dolfin shirts, Alligator shirts, Hawaiian floral prints, or gold chains. Real Cops wear Pendleton shirts and windbreakers to cover their weapon, which they always carry. It's a way of life. Now you know the ideal, the standard of perfection by which you and your peers are measured.
