The Ector County Sheriff's Office (ECSO) in Texas is set to don new uniforms, according to a recent Facebook post by the agency. The ECSO expressed excitement about the change, stating that it looks forward to serving the community with a more contemporary look while maintaining the same dedication to its duties. The transition to the new uniforms is part of the department's efforts to modernize its appearance.
Currently, deputies at the ECSO wear brown pants and a khaki shirt. However, they will soon be switching to black pants and a grey shirt over time. The change won't happen immediately, and the sheriff's office advised residents to expect to see both versions of the uniforms for several months. This gradual transition period will allow for a smooth adjustment for both the deputies and the community.
The decision to update the uniforms comes more than two years after the Midland County Sheriff's Office made a similar change. Midland County deputies now wear a uniform style that allows for easy identification when responding to calls. The ECSO hopes that its new look will also enhance visibility and professionalism in their interactions with the public.
If residents encounter a member of the ECSO in a uniform they don't recognize and have questions about the switch, they are encouraged to contact the agency at (432) 335-3050. The ECSO is committed to keeping the community informed and ensuring a seamless transition to its new uniforms.
