Dickenson County adopts updated employee dress‑code policy for board‑managed departments
Summary
The board approved a proposed update to the county employee dress‑code policy that applies to departments under the Board of Supervisors (not constitutional officers). The update includes county‑branded shirts/jackets and a requirement that employees wear county ID when conducting inspections or visiting residences.
The Dickenson County Board of Supervisors approved an update to the county employee dress‑code policy at its Sept. 23 meeting. The policy, as presented, applies to departments reporting to the board (for example: county administration, building inspections, public works and litter control) and does not affect constitutional officers.
Staff told the board the intent is to increase professionalism and to help residents clearly identify county personnel when staff conduct inspections or visit private homes. The proposal includes county‑branded shirts and jackets for field staff and a requirement that staff wear county identification while on official business. A supervisor asked whether the county would provide the clothing; staff said the proposal includes county‑issued shirts and jackets for the affected field employees. The board moved, seconded and approved the dress‑code update by voice vote.
