Pittsburg County adopts uniform and footwear policy for Emergency Management
Summary
The board unanimously adopted a new Uniform and Footwear Policy for Pittsburg County Emergency Management that specifies duty, command and high-visibility garments along with safety and lightweight boots for field personnel.
Pittsburg County commissioners adopted a Uniform and Footwear Policy for Emergency Management at the July 20 meeting. Leo Baughman presented the policy, which prescribes duty/operational uniforms, command/administrative uniforms, high-visibility clothing, weather-appropriate outerwear, and footwear (safety-toe and lightweight alternatives). Selman moved to approve the policy and the motion passed unanimously.
The policy allows each full-time paid Emergency Management employee to receive multiple sets of uniforms and footwear appropriate to their duties (for example up to three duty sets, up to five command sets, two high-visibility sets, and specified outerwear and boots). The document emphasizes identification, functionality, safety and operational readiness across weather and field conditions. The board recorded no dissenting comments during the vote.
The policy was adopted as a county-level administrative standard and will guide future uniform purchases and replacements, subject to available departmental funding and applicable county purchasing rules.
