seem very passionate about it. You are a wonderful writer too.

Have you considered writing something about it for publication or applying for a grant to delve into it further and report? Whether the colors affect the behavior of the cops and/or the reaction of citizen's to them, might be interesting to know, for example. I also wonder if different assignments might use different uniforms. The "I'm here to help" colors for a traffic cop near an elementary school, for example, and the "fear me" colors for a cop who is transporting an accused killer to and from prison and court for trial.

Private security firms may be interested, too because the same considerations apply to their personnel, both uniformed and not.

Who knows, maybe you could see the world as a consultant to public law enforcement and private security firms around the globe

I wonder if any grants are available via Homeland Security? Otherwise, if you are interested, contact a grantmakers' library and your federal and state reps to see what might be available.

Maybe you are already doing something with your obvious passion for this, but I just thought I'd throw out some things, in case.

Either way, I think your info is cool and so is your interest in it. Thanks.
