Miami-Dade Corrections is seeking to determine whether your department permits sworn and non-sworn personnel to wear skirts as part of their authorized department uniform. If skirts are authorized, please clarify the following:
1. Are skirts issued by the department as part of the standard uniform;
2. Are employees permitted to purchase skirts at their own expense;
3. Are skirts that may be worn by personnel assigned to work inside detention facilities; and
4. Is authorization to wear skirts limited to religious accommodations or is it generally available as an approved uniform option?
We would appreciate any applicable policy, directive, or uniform standard addressing this matter.
