New uniform

Anonymously contributed:

Does anyone else think that the new LLNL Security Officer "US Army clone" combat fatigues look silly? They look like clowns not security/law enforcement professionals. The Lab isn't a military base located in remote desert, it's suppose to be a civilian run research facility located in the suburbs. What a waste of money, especially since half of these officers will be let go when the SNM leaves and security is downgraded at the site in the next year or so.

While the statement of "it will save us money in the long run" is pure hogwash, I like the new uniform.

I believe that it will allow the wearer to blend in with the background better. And if you are taking fire, blending is good.

Several times when I've driven into the East entrance I have NOT readily spotted the PSO at a distance, unlike the uniforms of past.

C'mon....the new costumes are part of the new spring fashion line.

The guards are great, in whatever they wear.
Serious, courteous.

Security management, well, neither leadership, cost control nor fashion sense are their strong points.

(Maybe they were good cops when they were young?)

Before you call anyone a clown, look in the mirror and then do some research. The new SPO uniforms are DOE wide so that all sites are in the same uniform. This was a DOE request, not the SO. You are probably the same person that gives Officer's dirty looks when they tell you good morning after checking your credential.
