The Caney City Council approved new uniforms for their police force during Monday's regular session meeting.
Police Chief Ike Dye says the new uniforms will replace current Class A uniforms, which can be expensive.
Dye says current uniforms are designed for more formal use, including trials, funerals, or any formal events. He says the new uniform and vests will allow for more equal weight distribution of gear.
Dye also says the new vests will be easier to take on and off when officers are working on the paperwork side of cases at the station.
