I had to look up "fetters". They are leg-irons. Makes sense. You used to "fetter" horse & cattle.

Novel idea, weapon more effective loaded for use as a gun rather than unloaded for use as a CLUB.

Sounds like the cops just need a permit-to-carry class if they are not sure about proper handling.
I was at Abbott Northwestern last week and noticed the hospital police didnt carry guns. One cop had nothing and the other, a sergeant, only had a taser. I looked twice at the arm patch and it did in fact read, "Police".
Abbott also has the "...BAN GUNS..." signs.

Do you recall the color of the uniforms?

I've seen reserves wear their deparment's arm patches, but they have a secondary patch under it that says 'RESERVE'.
During my brief stint as a security guard, they made it clear that if they say "no gun", then it's no gun. If the client requested no guns, they were pretty insistant. If they didn't say anything, you didn't ask.

Quote: Lars Göran Carlsson, chief of police in Gävleborg, writes in his report that the dark uniform worn by police may be regarded as aggressive and militaristic by some.
Instead he proposes the introduction of a brighter sweater, straighter trousers and appropriate shoes rather than boots.
"We cannot ignore the fact that the uniform can contribute to improving or damaging the impression people have of the police," said Carlsson in a statement.
Sounds like the Chief has some of the same sentiments as many of us have. They should pay more attention to this in our country.

If I recall, a very deep, deep dark blue. Ill be there on the 31st so I'll double-check.
