Regular uniforms just prevent the tunics from being perceived as ordinary ... when you spot a flash of scarlet up here you know something special is going on. My favourite is that there's always an officer in full dress at citizenship ceremonies who acts as a witness and also usually ends up posing for photos with each of the participants afterwards. :-)

P.S. There are "normal" police officers???!!! (most of our law enforcement instructors at the college were retired Mounties. Fun and also funny, yes. Somewhat deranged (in the good way), of course. Sense of humour so dark you could call it a black hole, definitely. But "normal" ... nah!
