Livermore's Rodeo Week Kicks Off, PD Dresses The Part

LIVERMORE, CA — With the rodeo just around the corner, officers in Livermore look the part this week.

To help celebrate the 104th Annual Livermore Rodeo, they have the option to change their patrol uniform, the department said Monday.

"When we were approached by the Livermore Stockman's Rodeo Association to wear an alternate uniform, we thought it was a great idea," Chief Jeramy Young said.

The community might see officers wearing a white straw cowboy hat, blue jeans and brown boots (they still have the proper identification and safety gear.)

"We are excited to have Livermore Police celebrating Rodeo Week in style. It is what makes our police department, our city, unique and truly special," Livermore Stockman's Rodeo Association President Sheila Fagliano said.

The Livermore Rodeo is June 11 and 12. Click here for more information.
