The sheriff’s office updated its dress code on July 1, allowing on-duty deputies to wear cowboy for the first time in decades.

“You might notice our deputies sporting a new look these days,” the CCSO wrote on social media. “We are bringing back cowboy hats!”

The new policy allows deputies to wear three specific cowboy hat designs year-round, and a seasonal straw cowboy hat from May 1 to Sept. 30. Deputies who choose to wear cowboy hats must purchase the hats at their own expense.
