Haines Borough Police Department officers have a new look.
Police chief Bill Musser said he decided new khaki-colored shirts should replace the all-black uniforms to “appear less militaristic and more approachable.”
“I did receive a number of comments about the all black uniforms being intimidating,” Musser said.
The department has annually budgeted $3,200-$3,500 for uniforms over the past three years.
